Thank you for responding to my post. I have been dealing with nerve pain after facet joint injections in 2006. my doctor hit a nerve. I also had back surgery disc replacement  fusion in 2009. I have been dealing with  chronic back pain for to long, so when I woke up with this new pain it really scared me. I told my pain mgt. about it she really didn't say much about it. This only happened to me the one night, Thank you for the information I really appreciate it.

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems.  Sharp pain or tingling in the side of face could be due to injury to a nerve or pinched nerve, an infection or a trauma. Hence it could be Trigeminal neuralgia, abscess in tooth, exposed root canal, internal ear infection, maxillary sinusitis, TMJ, migraine, herpes (recurrent) without rash or fibromyalgia localized to face.
Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
