I had a minor stroke in my cerebellum eight weeks ago.  I had the numbness and tingling until two weeks ago.  The whole left side on my face, arms, legs, and feet almost felt as bad as when I went to the ER the first time.  I went to ER again a week after the stroke for a bad headache.(which I had severely with my stroke)  But, they treated for a headache.  I have had Carpal Tunnel ruled out for the tingling of hand.
Anyway, I am not a Dr.  this is just what happened with me.  I would say it is normal for now.

Hi

It could be a residual sensory deficit from the stroke.  If it is new I would get it checked out.
