My Story
Since late October 2007, I have had a slight headache would come and go but only on the right side of my head along with that came a numb tingling feeling going down my left arm. Now Jan 2008 the headache is constant and now includes swelling of the right side of my head and face occasionally stereoids are used to reduce swelling but nothing can touch the pain so far. I have had an EMG and an EKG done both came back ok I am scheduled for a cat scan on Jan 25. I am hoping I am not the only one going through this. It is almost like a constant pressure behind my eye. Please help me

I know this is a long time after your post, but did you manage to find out what the issue was. I have been experiencing the same pain for about 6 months now. No swelling on my side, but there are times that my face feels a bit numb on the right side. Several scans came back ok, but I probably should go for a cat scan as well.
