A member asked:

Two weeks ago i fell and got a black eye and hit above my temple into my brow bone. when will the bumps go way?

Depends on severity: of injury, but it can sometimes take many months, up to one year. But more important thing is to figure out why you fell in the first place, so you can prevent future falls that can cause even more severe injury. Speak with your doctor, so that you can take steps to prevent future falls.
