What Causes Numbness In The Head After A Head Injury?
Hi. I was in an car accident on 1-1-2017, of all days! First time going out. The car tire slipped on a patch of ice and the car spun then slammed into the rails. I was on the passenger side but I hit my head on the window. My head has been feeling strange in that one spot. I was told by my Dr. that I should be okay and the numb feeling will eventually got away within 2 to 3 months. It's been longer than that now. What does this sound like to you?

Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. The numbness could be due to nerve injury or concussion. It will subside on its own. If no relief at all, you should
- Take tablet Pregabaline after prescription
- take nerve specific vitamin like B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid.
Hope it will help.
Thanks. Take care.
