If the area of soreness is in the same place that you struck your head then, YES, that area could remain sore for some time. Highly unlikely that any fracture would've occurred in the orbital ridge. That is reinforced bone in that area. If you would have been struck hard enough to cause a fracture my guess is that the blow to the head would've been substantial enough to either lay you up in the hospital or knock you out. Of course, if there's any doubt then, you should have a physician take a look and decide the next best move. Please rate this as a 5 STAR RESPONSE and write me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi with further questions on this or other matters.
