numbness in tongue and jaw

For about a month I have had a numbness and or tingeling in my left cheeck and side of tongue. Usually I also have a burning on my tongue and or a metalic taste in my mouth. I first thought it was a sinus infection but I now have no other sinus symtoms. Now I am having a some uncomforatability above my left uper back teeth. Is it possible to have these symtoms before the tooth ach? I also have TMG with clicking that can be heard by others while I eat.

After the dentist gave me an injection of novacaine, I have no feeling in the tip of my tongue and along the right side of my tongue. I am afraid I will never regain the sensation in my tongue again. Can you tell me if this is normal, and if so, how long it will take for the feeling to return? I'm thinking my dentist did something wrong to cause this, although he is adamant that he did not. I have more dental work that needs to be done, but am afraid to continue.

you could be suffering from jaw muscle spasms causing tongue and lip bites. You may be experiencing numbness in the tongue, a common symptom of multiple sclerosis per se. Review with your neurologist if your disease spectrum has changed and for these newer symptoms. He might like to add some muscle relaxant like tizanidine, baclofen or carbamazepine. You are welcome with any further clarifications. God bless.

I noticed an odd taste while eating dinner a couple of hours ago, and it has progressed to numbness/tingling in my lips, mostly lower and inner, and the tip of my tounge. What it reminds me of is if you have ever accidently sprayed perfume or some other chemical in your face. Food tastes difference, and my lips feel strange when I run my tongue over them, like a chemical stinging.

3 weeks ago my dentist gave me an injection in the lower back of my jaw in order to do a root canal. I felt a shock at the time of the injection and my tongue was numb before he finished the injection. Since then my tongue has been numb and I feel like my tongue and roof of my mouth were burned.

I had my lower wisdom teeth removed and am now suffering from partial jaw and tongue numbness. Since the side that is suffering the numbness is the side that had the most work done, I was okay at first with not feeling any of the pain. In addition, my doctor says that it will probably take a couple of weeks for the feeling to return and not to worry. It has only been one week and I am already highly frustrated.

yesterday i was driving down the road and i started feeling a numbness on my tongue then it went through my jaw line and to the back of my ear. it lasted for a minute of less. but after the side of my head felt swollen and my throat and back of my tongue felt swollen.

Immediately after I started to have passagery feelings of numbness in my hands and feet, then constant pins and needles in the extremities, and after a couple months I had daily sharp, hot neural firings. About 5 months ago I had anotherbout of fatigue and muscle tightness, but this time accompanied with weird feelings like ants crawling in my skin. I saw a neurologist who suspected MS. My brain (but not my spinal cord) MRI had some smallish lesions that might be MS.

Almost a month ago, I experienced numbness starting in my right thumb and index finger, and it spread up my forearm, upper arm, around the back of my neck, into my left jaw, left chin, left ear, left cheek, and into my tongue. I also felt numbness in my left mid-back, left shoulder blade, left breast, and the back of my left upper arm. This all happened after I had been seated for more than 5 hours.

Hi there. Numbness or tingling in the tongue also known as paresthesia, occur most commonly due to damage to the nervous system. Damage to the lingual nerve supplying the tongue as a complication of dental procedures like wisdom tooth extraction, implants or root canal procedures. Other conditions could be stroke. Sometimes these can involve the lips or jaw. Calcium and vitamin B complex deficiency needs to be addressed. Consult an oral surgeon for assessment of possibilities. Hope this helps.

Well, I am still having facial pain/numbness and pain/numbness in my right arm. It seems to come and go, sometimes barely noticeable, other times quite annoying. I often find myslef massaging my right cheek and jaw area and the top of my right arm in some effort to relieve the feeling.

I have been experiencing slight numbness, more of a tingling sensation on the right tip of my tongue when i yawn or open my jaw really wide. I don't have chronic numbness or any pain. I do have occasional ear pain. My dentist took a Panoramic xray, but it turned out a bit grainy. He states he has never heard of tingling in the tongue when yawning, he thinks it is nothing. I am unsure as to where to go now. Please help me. Thanks.

If your tongue is numb, that means this happened because of the injection and not the root canal. If you are getting better ,that's a very good sign that it's recovering. Did you talk to the oral surgeon about this? It might take another 6 months or more to recover fully.

What is the cause for sudden pain and numbness in the ear and jaw joint? I am a 22 year old female and I have been experiencing these symptoms since yesterday. I was fine until the evening when I touched my right ear (towards the inside) and minced in pain. Since then I have noticed pain, pressure and partial numbness what feels like the inside of my ear, towards the middle, and about an inch around it surrounding the top of my jaw joint. I have difficulty opening my mouth too much.

The usual severe cervical headache, for me, also causes the numbness of half or less of the tongue, and sometimes the same side lip or jaw and shooting pains down one dermatome in the upper arm, or stabbing eye pain on the same side. A way to check if it is possibly the cervical headache: Lie on your back, have someone very, very slowly move your head (ear toward shoulder) without turning your face toward your shoulder. Have them move your head from your left to your right.

I just copied a list of all anxiety symptoms, you will be amazed.

However, the numbness, tingling and occasional pain is progressing to the left side of my face and I have lost about 18 pounds during this ordeal because of difficulty eating or tasting.

Losartan also may cause a persistent cough, increase serum potassium, impotence, and angioedema. Losartan may reduce kidney function in some patients and should not be used by patients who have bilateral renal artery stenosis (narrowing of both arteries going to the kidneys). Rare cases of rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) have been reported.

The chances of it happening are usually slim but if the nerve running along the lower part of the jaw gets entangled with the root tips or if they should pierce the nerve or even graze it patients can have the numbness in the lip, cheek or tongue, or all of them. In some instances the paresthesia will gradually decrease and the patient will notice more feeling coming back in the area.

The numbness was kind of a numb sensation, but it was not numb to the touch nor did I lose any movement. The numbness in my face is along my left jaw line kind of into my cheek and along the outer corner of my left eye. Also, the left corner of my mouth and the left side of my tongue sometimes feel numb. There is no drooping or anything like that. I do not have these symptoms all the time. I can sometimes go weeks without them.

I do sometimes experience some burning on the right hand side of my face and tongue numbness. On occasions the tongue numbness is really bad but usually not long lasting but of late often my tongue on the underneath but just feels numb or like pressure or tight sensation. When this occurs I seem to have some type of head pain but more like a random shooting pain.
