A member asked:
Is it normal for a laceration on back of head from car accident to still cause pain 5 years later? pin point sharp shooting pain and scalp sensitivity
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foreign Body?: Although anything is possible, it is unlikely that a simple laceration sustained several years ago would still cause discomfort unless contaminated with a piece of glass or debris, or if the laceration involved a nerve which hasn't healed properly.
