It aches when i open my jaw, around my right eye, and had a sore nippy hot feeling in my throat all day, a couple days before , b waking up with a sore face, i've been getting lightheaded spells as well, could this be something to do with it as well?
View 1 RepliesThe left side of my face has been swollen EVERY single day for almost 2 years now. I went to an ENT specialist who diagnosed me with allergic rhinitis and a bit deviated septum. I did a skin prick test but results were negative. I also did a CT scan. It showed i have a turbinate hypertrophy (left) and slightly deviated septum (no mention about sinusitis). I have difficulty to breath from the left side on my nose especially during night, during day is quite ok. I have no other symptoms (besides the swelling). Could it be chronic sinusitis?
View 1 RepliesGood evening ladies, a strange question I know but it's really bothering me so much I couldn't work this afternoon and getting myself in a right old pickle about it. Along with all the other horrid things happening right now my cheekbones are really aching and I acts not through laughing either ! I rang my mum and she said she remembered her face changing when she was going through it and told me not to worry, but I am........for god's sake I think every part of my body has had some sort of ache and pain and now my face. So of course i've been staring in the mirror and anxiety high right now , so sick of it all - has anyone else had anything similar ?
View 33 RepliesI know that it's known that lipitor has the side-effect of muscle tiredness and aches. Has anyone else have to deal with this? Man it's off the hook. I almost am paralyzed fro, lipitor. This horrible and I would like to talk to someone who's been through it. This is a very under-rated affliction IMO. I've been tested and it doesn't look like I have the Rabadolosis<sp? That spelling isn't even close. I was very scared before I realized what was causing this severe problem.. Now I know that lipitor has helped a lot of people, it brought my cholesterol down a bunch very quickly. Frankly i would rather have high cholesterol. I did have a stroke at the end of November, small, deep in the cerebellum. Hence the lipitor.
View 4 RepliesI have been taking oxytetracycline for the last 5 months or so to clear up spots on my chest and back.But lately i have had pains in my knees,pains in my back and sometimes slight pain in my stomach area.I have noticed my legs,from the knees down especially around my ankles are full of fluid after my work.I was wondering if this is due to something else or has anyone else out there had anything like this after taking oxytetracycline.I have noticed my eyes are a bit blurry at times.But it's the pains and the fluid i would like to find out about.
View 1 RepliesAfter seeing my GP and a specialist about ED, they've prescribed me 5mg cialis to take every day. I'm on day 3 and i'm getting side-effects, flushing (warm feeling in the face), muscle aches and also feeling fatigued and drowsy.
Has anyone else here taken it daily? do the side effects wear off or is this what I should expect now? if they wear off, i can tough it out - but if this is just how-im-going-to-feel-now.
I've had chronic severe sinusitis for a couple years now and now am bedridden from it from being too weak and toxic feeling. Anyway, Most of my infection is on the left side and I have swelling on the left side of my neck and swelling/stiffness on the back of my neck too.
View 4 RepliesAbout a week and a half ago I woke up to my left eye completely swollen shut. Doctor gave me antihistamine and antibiotic to cover allergic reaction and infection. Swelling significantly went down but never 100%. Eyelid still throbbing on occasion and throbbing to side of eye and in corner. Swelling has moved to side of face and under chin. Had cat scan and ultrasound and nothing abnormal but everyone notices the swelling except my doctor down plays it. Something is going and I'm super frustrated with what it could be.

View 3 RepliesI was taking a pre workout called mp assault to go lift weights. Then I got strange eye twitching/feeling numb+light sensitivity and dizziness. Now 3/4 days later twitching stopped but more and more of my face is numb and eye doesn't feel right. What is happening?
View 3 RepliesThis morning I woke up with my right side of face all swollen, red and my eyeball is leaking. The right side of my face, jaw, temporal area and neck have given me problems for months and months before the doctors diagnosed PMR and GCA. They still have not done anything the really confirm GCA and I am worried that I may have had a mini-stroke as I woke up all numb in the right side of my head one morning and slowly the numbness went away and then pain was horrible. I have pain in the right side of my head 24/7 but the SWELLING appearance is new. Should I be going to the hospital?

Dis is dad third day I've had dis n everybody keeps telling me to go emergency. N botn my hands r really itchy I scratch it so hard it hurts. My hands look like dares bumps on it now.
View 1 RepliesI keep getting red, blotchy and sometimes dry skin on the side of my face that I sleep on (i.e. the one I rest on the pillow). It is usually there when I wake up in the morning and it's getting embarrassing because one side of my face is clear while the other one is red and blotchy. It extends to my neck occasionally too.
View 6 Repliesabout 4 years ago, my right eye started appearing larger than the left. I had just had Botox around the eye, and wondered if it was a result of that... But then as the years wore on the bulging eye didn't settle down, it seemed to be irritated when I drank coffee, or had stress and haven't done Botox since, but the problem persists.
Recently the problem is getting worse. Aside from the eye being open wider, the pupil in the right eye is also dilated and it feels like there is pressure inside the eye. Also the right side of my face is becoming numb. This is consistent even when I am on no medication, or drinking coffee.
I have been to UCLA eye center and they did a full neuro ophthalmology test and found nothing wrong. I have been to my Lasix Dr. (Dr. Malony) and he also found nothing. I even had an MRI for tumors - and they found nothing. I also went to a Glaucoma specialist and their feedback was -- it's probably stress related.
I am really at a loss, I know something is wrong here. I have been under serious stress in the last 4 years, but this eye problem, seems to getting worse and I am worried that it could become a larger issue. I want the right side of my face to feel normal again, not tingly and numb, with a bulging eye. I've tried eye drops, because my eye was dry after Lasik, and I have tried eye drops for allergies, but neither have fixed the issue.
The right side of my face manly cheek feels like it's pulling down. It also feels like it's numb but it's not. I can move my face fine. Every time I look in the mirror it looks fine. It's been this way for about 5 days now. Its off and on but mostly during the day. I have health anxiety but haven't felt this symptom before. Does anyone else have this?

Since yesterday I've experienced paraesthesia/numbness on the left side of my face.
It starts from just before the eye and to the chin including the left side of my tongue.
A few hours after it started when I saw that this feeling is consistent I went to the ER (it was night so I didn't have many choices).
They did several blood tests, urine test and chest and back X-ray - all came out OK.
They also checked heart-rate and blood pressure and of course they're fine.
I had the same paraesthesia in left side of the face a month ago and it passed within a few hours - the doctor told me then to come back for a checkup if it happens again but didn't refer me to a specialist.
Now they referred me to a neurologist and a nose-ear-throat doctor but I have an appointment for 2-3 months from now.
The last doctor I saw was convened it's an anxiety disorder (which I have for about 15 years) - but it doesn't seem likely to me (although possible).
I also got estimations that it might be a virus or an ear/jaw infection.
Do you have any way to help me understand what i might have and what test should I do (and insist on) and generally, how worried should I be?
Yesterday after showering I laid down for bed and I got this itchy burning sensation on the left side of my face...I thought to myself it was just dry skin...I woke up the next day with no issue...it was about 34 degrees outside today and wind was gusty...but I maybe spent 45 mins outside on and off...maybe 5-10 mins at a time at best...I noticed throughout my day the burning sensation was getting worse...I came home from work and showered once again and it feels like it made it worse...I am having trouble chewing on that side of my mouth, but only because of moving my mouth to chew...I never had my wisdom teeth pulled and I'm 29 years of age...my teeth and gums themselves do not ache or hurt at all...I just had gotten over a head cold, but i always have them through the winter months...This is the 1st time this had ever happened to me...My skin does dry out in the winter time, but i've never had this feeling before...should i be worried and seek medical help? It almost feels like sunburn and it hurts to the touch...the right side of my face is completely normal...the reason this scares me is if i have a infection in my gums/tooth somewhere i heard this can be deadly if not treated...
View 1 RepliesFor the past couple months I have a sharp pain that comes and goes throughout the day. I live off Motrin just to keep myself sane. I get intense jabs in my jaw, ear, eye area and sometimes my head. Does this sound like TN? I don't really have a trigger or anything. Sometimes the pain is so awful I have to hide under a blanket and just try to take a nap til it passes. Other times (like now) the pain is dull but the jabs are still painful. Anyone experience this?

I'm 34 weeks and I woke the other morning to the left side of my face paralyzed. I can't move that side of my mouth or close my eye at all and it's starting to droop as well. Doctor said it's called Bell's Palsy and it usually goes away after days, weeks, or even months. There might also be a risk that it could be permanent due to nerve damage.
