A member asked:

Fell through porch, a 2 by 4 came up and hit me on my right side, it caused a lot of swelling and a black eye and major pain around cheek area, happen a couple weeks ago, why am i still numb on right side and still have pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can be numb where the board hit the cheek area for quite some time from the impact on the nerves in the skin that give you sensation. Think a couple months. It can also be sore for more than a couple weeks due to bone bruise (or even a slight undiagnosed fracture if you have not had it x-rayed) and deep muscle, tendon and ligament pain of the face tissues which are also bruised.
