What Causes Numbness On Top Of Scalp After An Injury?

A big guy landed with his elbow on my head as we were playing basketball. I felt a sharp burning sensation on my neck. So I jerked my head in the opposit direction and I head it pop back into place. Now I feel a numbness on my top left part of my scalp. Do I need to go see a dr?

Hi, if you have vertigo, consiousness loss, vomiting then only you will need to consult. otherwise, take rest and do not panic. These symptoms will get corrected in few days.
