Numb

I have what I thought was a bruise falring up a bit on my right chin / jaw line. I could feel the bump but could not remember being hit to cause such a decent size lump. My children often kick and hit me in the face in play. But to get this size lump would have been memorable unless at 39 my body now can't handle even a gentle bump. But it seems to now be getting slightly worse and is begining to feel numb and slightly itchy. I have a very mild middle bottom tooth infection. I thought if my gland was up it would be a lower / under my chin swelling which it is not under the chin but on and if anything above. I am visably looking like fred flintstone actor's chin on one side / elephant man slightly.

Hi, If your swelling is on the same side as the tooth ache, it could be because of the existing tooth infection. To determine if the cause is the tooth or not, you need to visit a dentist and get a complete oral examination done specifically focusing on that particular side of the jaw. Preferably, get an x ray to see the tooth also. It could be a tooth infection leading into a space infection. Other reasons could be - cysts, trauma, bacterial infection like actinomycosis, abscess etc. This ca ...

My dentiist says I will regain feeling in my tongue. Why is my tongue numb, will I get the feeling and taste back.

Permanent damage can happen only if there is severe tearing of the main nerve and in your case i do not feel so. so do not worry. As I told you earlier, it does takes a lot of time for healing, so kindly be patient. I know no amount of words will make you feel totally comfortable, but as a doctor we are pledged to tell you the truth no matter how good or bad it may sound. Whenever any doctor is administering anaesthesia, he has to follow particular landmark ...

Lately I've been waking up in the middle of the night with tingling numb hands, and thought that i must have just been sleeping on them. But now about once a day, one of my hand will start to feel numb and tingly. Also, I recently got a hemorrhoid so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Hi, If you tell me that you have numbness in night only then even I might have thought that but if you have numbness even in the day then there can be many causes but haemorrhoid and this disease should not be linked and they don't have anything in common. Do you have any pain in back ? Does colour change when you have numbness (do they change to blue) ? Do you have regular headache ? Otherwise whatever the complaint be - - Try avoid smoking - Try avoid caffeine - Keep your feet warm Fee ...

I am experiencing lower lip twitching and I believe it is related to recent dental work. I was given several injections to numb a back molar prepping for a crown. I have had injections in that area once a week for several weeks. The last time, 5 days ago, the dentist had to give a second and third injection to thoroughly numb the area. Is this possible? Should I be concerned?

Don't worry ,mostly this is reversible and does take care of itself within a couple of months . It is due to accidental nerve injury during the injecting of the local anesthesia ,though not common but can occur with even a single injection and not necessarily due to multiple injections . Just bad luck that it happened ,but take solace in the thought that it is reversible and you should be fine in some time . Neural vitamins like the ones suggested above will help regenerate / heal the nerve fast ...

my husband has cellulitis that has reoccurred on his face, he was given strong antibiotics and now after about 2 months its back, NoW he has developed diabetic symptoms he also has swollen ankles, and sometimes hands, I dont know if the two are related, and his face is now numb, I dont know where to take him for treatment, because he also has a bad tooth that might have caused it. where do i go? ER? PCP? Dentist? HElp!!

Dear Patient, Please immediately check for diabetes, routine Blood and Urine at the start. This is to rule out Diabetes. Press your thumb on the swelling part at the ankles for a while and observe if the tissues regain their original shape immediately or return after sometime which indicates retention of water in the body. Please get a medical detailed profile for a proper diagnoses. This appears to be a systemic condition rather than dental who will take care of a bad tooth later ...

My tongue has started feeling numb with a light white coating every morning for the last week. ...every morning

There are several possibilities for what causes a white coating on the tongue, or THRUSH. The most common cause of a white coating is a candidal infection, which is caused by fungus.

My left wrist hurts so much like, it is numb and hurting. My right hand doesnt feel much pain and isn't as weak as my left hand but, it is shaky too! My left hand can hold stuff, but not as good as my right hand. What can remedies can I do at home and medicines can I take to soothe the numbness and weakness of my hands to make it feel better? And are my hands sick in someway that I need to see a doctor? Please answer, thank you! :)

maybe you need to see a doctor as soon as possible as something is cooking up and needs to be sorted out soon. you may have cervical spondylosis or a neural compression in upper limb ( carpal tunnel syndrome) and needs further investigations. before a paralysis sets in or permanent damage occurs see a good doctor. ...
