Numbness in Face
by Goldi476, May 07, 2008 01:41PM
My friend was currently in a car accident and she had hit her right side of her face and neck against the windshield. Now it's four, five days after and her face is still numb. It also itches but she can't feel herself itching her face. I really want to know if I should have her go to the hospital or if the nerves are just shocked.
