Is Swollen Area Between Eyelid And Eyebrow With History Of Bruising Due To Hard Hit On Head Normal?

Hi, about 9 days ago I hit my head hard on cement floor right side of forehead. Bruise went down to my eyelids and bellow eye, the bruise is getting better everyday. I am worried about swollen area between eyelid and eybrow, and the fact that I can"t seem to raise that eye. Is that normal ? Thank you.

You may just have a collection of dried blood in that area (hematoma) which is restricting movement of the eye. Once it absorbs you'll be fine. Just use heat on that area (not too hot because it's your eye). You should also go see an ophthalmologist to do a good examination of the orbit and globe and make sure you didn't damage anything else from that hit.
