Right side & Face tingling/numbness

[SandyDH]

I started having right arm/hand tingling, right shoulder pain over a month ago (Begin April), this has progressed to right side face/leg numbness, my right eye waters.  It's permanent and I feel like the right side of me disconnected from the left...what is it?

I think you should see a neurologist or a primary doctor as soon as possible and have your chest and neck imaged.  Hopefully, it is nothing serious but these symptoms may be very concerning and you should rule out any problems.  Does your right eye look droopy or smaller than the other?   If so, go check it out soon.
Otherwise, you may have a radiculopathy from a pinched nerve but someone should look at it to confirm this diagnosis.

Well, here I am again a year later, complete hysterectomy later and the symptoms are still the same on my right side, except with the waves of pain my lymph nodes swell.  Brain MRI revealed nothing, Ncekc and Should MRI April 18th to come. My memory sucks because I did not realize I'd made this post a year ago with the beginning of these symptoms...hmmm

when you say numb do you mean completely?  I have had similar problems for 2 weeks and have a nuerologist apt on wed.  but mine feels like just coming out of novacaine or like a "charlie horse" in my arm.  right lege and foot were bad last week but so bad this week.

Finding this website has really helped me realize that what happened to me has happened to others especially where most explanations sound so much like what I have had.  For several weeks I have had an eye watering like it did a year ago due to allergies and as last year went to eye Dr. and it went away.  But this year, something is different.  Last Tuesday out of the blue while shopping in Albertson's no pressure, just getting a couple things with my husband.  My tongue felt funny and the side of my face all on the right side as you all have stated.  Then it seemed to travel to the whole right side of face and my arm was tingling as Frisifer stated hers did feeling like a charlie horse and my face like I had just had a shot of BIG novacaine from a dentist.  We got out to the car and I told my husband about it couldn't believe it didn't go away.  Getting home I layed on bed but now it seemed like it was affecting my throat and maybe it was panic but felt like it was hard to breathe.  I thought it could be allergic reaction but it wasn't.  After going to the hospital instantly doing tests  thinking a stroke but all tests  ( brain scan-EKG- blood work-X-Rays) all came back normal.  When all this was happening, my head felt foggy and was dizzy.  The numbness went into my right leg hip area making it alittle difficult to walk.  Since it is almost a week later, it has come back on me several times but not as fierce.  Typing now I have to stop ever so often because my hand goes numb, but my head also doesn't feel right like the back of it hurts.  But, about 8 years ago I fell on ice hitting it extremely hard and with all the Drs. I seen then it is something I live with even tho the pain never goes away but all this was on my left side of my head.  Makes me wonder if the happenings now might still be related?  Most all who wrote were in their 30's and I am 62 (SOUNDS SO OLD NOW THAT I WRITE IT)  so I have empathy on those who have had this happen.  I just hope it doesn't last long like some have had and it came on SUDDENLY.  Hope someone reports back that their's went away and they are now feeling fine
