Q: Numbness In Left Side of Lower Face

I have been getting numbness in the left side of my face and every so often it feels like i am getting a shot of novacaine in the left side of my mouth. Sometimes my left ear and all around that area are feeling tingly and weird.

I am 57 and have slightly high cholesterol. I am on vytoran for it.

I really don't have any other medical problems. I had a stress test 8 months ago and it was great.

What could be causing this?

Left sided numbness

I was in a car accident 5 days ago. Diagnosed with lower back pain that radiated up and over my left shoulder and down to my pinky. Two days later the doctor gave me vicadine,flexeral, ibiprophen. I took the medicine one time. After this my left side of my face is numb. It is numb more in the afternoon and evening. If you have any information on what may be causing this could you write me.thank you
