Still Do Not Have Any Answers Posted: 11-17-06 13:45pm
Many months later and still no answers.
I have facial numbness on the left side of
my face. It is almost like a giant
circle, its starts behind my left ear,
goes up over my left eyebrow, down across
the bridge of my nose, down to the right
of my lips and then below my jawline then
circling back up to my left ear. Also
have fullness, ringing, and mild hearing
loss in that ear. Ent said it was tmj,
problem is numbness too extensive and pain
not that extreme and not right spot. Tmj
association also said tmj not problem, or
at least not total problem. My jaw
clicks and it is sore when I eat something
very chewy. I started having problems
where my arm would suddenly jerk
involuntarily. I would get the feeling
like I had just been shocked in my spine
or injected with adreneline and my arm
would jerk. Only happens when arm is at
rest, never when I am doing something
(i.E. Typing). Went to neurologist, he
was stumped. Mri was inconclusive. Now
I have the same thing happening in my
face, specifically my mouth. One side
will twitch and then jerk into a
half-smile. Stronger on the left side
than the right. Any thoughts?
