Imagine a hit on your arm with a flying baseball. It would take more than a week to heal.

Not unique to have a lingering area of sensitivity secondary to a closed head injury. This will clear over the next few weeks. If you are intensely concerned, see your doctor to decide if further imaging is advisable.
