I was given local anaesthetic 2 days ago while the doctor stitched up my face... now part of my face is totally numb but this is no the part that was stitched up / anaestesised... that part I can feel again (above my eye) but my nose and part of my cheek are totally numb... a few days ago I was kicked in the face many times... is it numb because of the anaesthetic or because it is heavily bruised?
Also one of my eyes cannot open fully, I can see from it but it is heavily bloodshot(the part that is normally white is all red).. I am worried about internalt bleeding... some parts of my face hurt - others I cannot feel at all

Best get yourself to the doctor. The doctor who had attended to you would know.

Hi Max. The numbness is caused by nerve damage, which is most likely a result of being kicked in the face. Two days is not sufficient time for that sort of injury to heal, so you have two options: (1) Ring your local surgery and ask for a clinician to ring you back with advice, or (2) wait for about a week and see if things improve on their own.

I'm not sure. Call NHS Direct on 0845 4647 for nurse advice and health information. The helpline is open 24 hours.

Not good! Go back to see the Doctor! Don't "BE" a tough guy, just tell him the TRUTH! No one can help you, if you don't, help yourself, first! Don't leave the DOC., guessing!
