facial pain

[bob4259]

I have had facial discomfort on the left side only for 14 months. It includes dull headaches, numbness in the left side of my face, with occasional tingling, but mostly a heavy feeling on the left side of my left eye.
I have had an MRI with the results coming back as normal. Eye exaime and dentist examine.
I have tried therapy, extra vitamins, and have changed my execise routine.
It does not bother me while I'm exercising. Asprin does releif the systems temporarily.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreiciated.

I would see a neurologist and have a CT scan.  It sounds like it could be disc related possibly from your neck.

I found this on www.*****************/neurology It sounds like it might be a disc lesion that could be causing the numbness. I really would see a neurologist for this.  

Paresthesiae of the mouth, hands and feet are common, transient symptoms of the related conditions of hyperventilation syndrome and panic attacks.

Symmetric peri-oral numbness is common in cases of hypocalcaemia and is an accompanying symptom in migraine suffering people that may precede the headache itself.

Symmetrical or unilateral affection of the face is common with cervical disc lesion. In disc disease or spinal arthritis the nerve roots are compresses (radiculopathy) leading to paresthesia that is felt according to the level of affection.

While in a condition named trigeminal nerve neuralgia (fifth cranial nerve) there is unilateral sensory paresthesia of the face followed later on by sensory loss and trophic changes.

Have you had dental work done on the upper teeth on that side, even before the symptoms showed up?
