PRP hair - does side effect include brain fog? 7 weeks post op.

RAE10
I had PRP on the hair scalp done approx 7 weeks ago. The needling was extremely painful so my dr injected a freeze to block the pain (above pupils of eyes). The gun was less painful. Approx 7 weeks later, I still feel mild brain fog, i.e. my thoughts not as crisp and clear as before. Could there be nerve or other damage from the PRP? Has anyone experienced this and does it go away after time?
