I have facial numbness and tingling too, its from C3-4. Doesn't sound like you having any thing particularly severe at this point, how are your Doctors treating you?

My fiance also had these problems with his discs. He had herniated discs C4-C7. He could feel nothing in his right hand at all. No pain, no touch, nothing..except on his pinkie and just the slightest touch was excruciating. He saw a neurologist and had to have surgery to replace the herniated discs which were also pinching the spinal cord. The pinched spinal cord was pinching spinal nerves leading to his right arm and hand. He is now recovered and practically brand new. He had to have some physical therapy but it has been worth every second. Have you seen a neurologist yet? If not, that would be the first thing to do.
