left sided facial - head numbness. please help

[motox1027]

I have been having left sided faical - head numbness. The areas effected are the left side of my face (never the whole side, and ear-around the ear area, tmeple area. The numbness is really annoying. its like a slight burn type numbness. I am 24 yr male. I had a sinus ct scan which was normal. I had a brain mri and mra which was normal. My jaw on that left side cracks alot and makes squishy noises when i move it side to side, but I am having doubts that TMJ couls cause this. Any ideas? When I wear sunglasses, the numbness is dulled, and I feel better. I always have to wear them now. When I sleep I feel fine, or lay down... it seems like slight pressure or something toughing the area dulls the annoying effect..

tmj can wreak havoc on ones head. If you can aford o address that possibility do so. Physical therapy, dental mouthgards, exercise, avoiding certain foods....
