What Causes Numbness In The Feet And Hand After An Injury?

I hit my head rather hard about a week ago. I had turned around quickly and slammed the right side of my forehead into the corner of the door. The swelling went down as of today. There s now a long straight indentation where it was hit. I m also now feeling numbness is my feet and hands occasionally. Is there no need to be concerned?
