The left side of my face... going down to my cheek is numb :| it's been like it for about 8 hours now lmao.

[Scarlett.]

O_O wassup with it?

[Ross]

I don't know it feels like once you've had a needle at the dentist... it's going my neck too aha. I'm not right.

[Scarlett.]

Lol
You sure ya dont need a Doc?

[Ninastar]

OMFG! my dad had this. You need to go to a doctor! Its got a wierd name. Its called facial bellspausy or something!

[Ninastar]

When he went to the doctor they gave him like 13 pills( a day ) to take ( loads i know but yeh ) you should really get an appointment if it doesnt go within a day

[Ross]

Haha wow X_x
I like feeling my face because I cant feel it lmao! *pinch*

Edit: it's Bell's palsy I think Nina.

[~Kizwiz~]

I had this sort of thing when I was 17 and like Ninastar said, it may be belspalsey but its unlikely.

What about dental pain? Wisdom teeth can cause terrible pain and not just in your teeth. It can effect the jaw, head and throat too

[Ninastar]

Apparently like 1 in 300 people get it. lol.

My teeth haven't been hurting.

It's not like fully numb that I have no control... you know if you just tickle your fingers over your skin normally... it tickles a bit, but when I do it over my skin now it's really sensitive and tickles like 10x more. It also hurts if I press really hard on it.

When you smile of blink doe like only have of your face do do it and the numb side just stay the same???


( btw you might be able to get off school/college cause my dad got off work for like 1/2 weeks lol )

[~Kizwiz~]

Sounds a silly question but is your face drooping?

What are the symptoms?
The main symptom of Bell's palsy is a sudden weakness or paralysis in one side of your face that causes it to droop. This may make it hard for you to close your eye on that side of your face.

Other symptoms include:

Drooling.
Eye problems, such as excessive tearing or a dry eye.
Loss of ability to taste.
Pain in or behind your ear.
Numbness in the affected side of your face.
Increased sensitivity to sound.

Numbness, yes.

I aint a doctor but your right mum might be right in the trapped nerve which can be very painful

Yeah I think it is... I can eat/speak/drink fine. It'll go in time hopefully.

[~Kizwiz~]

It could also be due to anxiety????? The body reacts very strangely to stress

Ah, I dunno what it is.

I'm just gonna stop touching my face haha. I'm going out for a meal with some friends in a bit now, I'm thinking... Alcohol won't effect it will it?

[pinkmichk]

what about your sinuses are they blocked cos that can play havoc with your face esp if your ear hurts could be the beginnings of flu or similar

[Ross]

My nose is fine, it's just ma cheek.

I'm probably overreacting now lol.
