Well, we could start by recalling the fact that you bounced your head off the floor according to your history, correct? You were out drinking so is it safe to assume that you'd probably had at least enough so that you probably wouldn't've felt nearly as much pain last night after the collision with the ground as this morning once the alcohol has kind of washed out of your system? The pins and needles is probably from the whiplash effect of hitting your head and rebound of the neck. In conclusion, you suffered a post traumatic headache and I wouldn't be surprised if this headache lingered for no less than several days to several weeks or even several months. Stay hydrated and avoid drinking alcohol to excess.

If you have other specific questions that you'd like to ask of myself then, you can get to my page by following the link:
