Question
Hi I sustained a blow to the area behind my right ear which caused initial disorientation.  I have since had a feeling of pressure at the top of my head.  I recently started feeling numbness in my head, neck and tingling/ nmbness in my face, arm and leg.  Grateful for any advice.

Answer
Hi Nadia,

If you also have blurred vision I would get a CT of the head right away. If not, a MRI of the neck will show if you herniated a cervical disc. This would explain your symptoms. This can easily be corrected nonsurgically with towel traction. if you need a referral, let me know and I will be glad to help. Right now we don't know exactly what is wrong, so get it checked out first, then I can advise you further.
