Could facial numbness be caused by domestic abuse that happened a year ago?!
Question: Could facial numbness be caused by domestic abuse that happened a year ago!?
My mother was the victom of domestic abuse 1 year ago!. Over the past 5 months she has noticed that every once in a while the side of her face and neck will become numb and will sort of what she says "buzz" for up to but no more than 10 seconds!. She has also said that when turning her head from left to right her eyes have a hard time keeping up!. She had a CT scan the day after she was beaten and nothing was found to be abnormal other than a few goose eggs and brusing!. Her head was slammed on to a tile floor multiple times!. She asked her Dr!. about it and He just brushed it off as a symptom of Migrianes!. I really don't agree with that since this is not the same Dr!. she saw after this injury!. Please help!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Get her to get a second opinion!. She'll need to tell the new doctor what's happened to her!. If she's seeing a new doctor permanently she should be able to get her records transferred!.
If there was some nerve damage or something it may be a delayed reaction!.
If it's a delayed reaction it probably wouldn't have shown up in the first ct scan!. Also she may have done something which triggered the affects of the original injuries!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why doesnt she see that doctor then!?
Is the new doctor aware of the things she went through!.
You need to bring this concern to the doctor, not rnadom strangers on the internet!
The symptoms could indicate a stroke for all you tell here, it could indicate permanent nerve damage, degeneration, and so on!.
Please, see a doctor and bring your mom's patient history along if the doctor doesnt have it!.
CT scan in the past might not reveal whats going on now!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Best I can come up with is Maybe!. If possible another CT scan would be great, but i know what a pain it is to get one of those! One thing is for sure, a doctor should never just brush it off, it could be a warning sign for a number of things, like a stroke or something!.
Good Luck with it though, I hope you can find her help soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com
