almost 4 months ago i tripped down some stairs and hit my forehead against the wall. i had a huge lump that was there for about 2 weeks including black eyes that healed after 2months...finally after that the lump became smaller i started to feel sharp almost needle like pains on the lump. the lump hasnt fully went away but now i do see a small dent on the top of my forehead. could this be a serious matter that i should get an MRi for?
Hi. The typical pain is due to the nerves getting reattached to each other differently during the healing process. This is called paresthesia. This is usually a self limiting disease. IF you feel it is troublesome you can get a prescription for the medicines to reduce this type of pain. The trauma which has caused such a severe problem should have been investigated . By a CT scan as the bone defects are better in a CT scan than an MRI. CT will also show other parts of the brain and all.  Go for a CT scan
