Neuropathic Pain :: Pain On Left Side Of Face - Tingling In Lip And Tounge
I suffer with pain on the left side of my face in the form of tingling feeling in the lip, gum, tongue, nostril and eye. Have been on amitriptlyne for a while and then on gabapentine and pregabalin but the last two gave me awful side effects so have come off them and just taking painkillers at the moment, but they don't do much at all. Has anyone tried a Tens Machine?
View 5 RepliesEye Care :: Pressure In My Right Eye, Numbness On Right Side Of My Face?
about 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.
Vascular Disorders :: Numb Left Leg And Strange Scars On Left Side Of Stomach
I have had a numb left leg for about 5 months now from my thigh down to my knee and it seems to be getting worse and going down to the rest of my left leg. I also have these weird scars that look red or bloody from the inside and there is 3 of them and they showed up out of nowhere overnight. My doctor has given me blood tests and MRI's and nothing has shown up abnormal.
View 1 RepliesENT :: Left Eye And Side Of Face Swelling
About 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 RepliesAccidents Investigations :: Paraesthesia On The Left Side Of The Face
I'm 29 years old.
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?
Multiple Sclerosis :: Burning On The Left Side Of Face
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...

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.

View 2 RepliesThyroid Disorders :: Small Goiter And Nodule On The Left Side - Normal Tests
Just recently I was diagnosed with a small goiter & nodule on the left side. The doctor ordered all of the tests (TSH, T4 and TPO antibody level) and everything came back normal. The biopsy on the nodule is normal as well. Benign and no signs of cancer. My concern now is regarding my goiter & nodule. If my test results are all normal, what caused it to enlarge? What do I do to shrink it? My doctor will not give me anything because he said there's nothing wrong with my thyroid. The functions are normal. It just enlarges for a reason sometimes.
View 2 RepliesKidney :: Microscopic Hematuria In 3 Yr Old Son
My son is of 3 years old.
Last month he was having fever so doctor suggested me to go through CBC blood test and urine test.
The CBC count was normal except the wbc count was more.
In Urine test it found color yellow, protein present+, puss cells 9-10 and rbc 7-8.
Again doctor treated with some antibiotics. With the help of those antibiotics there was no fever.
Again after a week we went under urine test the result was same.
Till now 4 time urinalysis has been so far and the results vary from sometimes RBC is between 2-3 to 7-8, Puss cells between 1-2 to 9-10 and protein from trace to present+.
So my doctor referred to a Nephrologists.
Nephrologists asked to go for Abdomen test and the results were normal. This was done last week.
Today again we went for urine test still the results are same Color yellow, protein present+, puss cells 9-10 and rbc 7-8.
My Nephrologists told me that there is no problem as the protein level is low.
He told me to regularly do urine test every 3 months and keep a track of protein level.
He also suggested me not to go for kidney biopsy as it is not needed now.
So what could be the reason behind it and what should I do?
Kidney Transplant - Donor Had Hematuria
I'm posting here on behalf of my sister in law. She's 29 years and since 2 years she's in dialysis. We're looking at the option to perform a transplant.
Her mother is a potential donor and we did all the tests. Everything was fine except for Hematuria (that is Erythrocytes in urine). After the doctors reviewed the result they told us she can't donate. I feel that while she may not be the best donor, they didn't want to take any risk.
I wanted to ask if anyone did a transplant while the donor had Hematuria?

Kidney Disease :: Hematuria And Protein In Urine
For the last five months I have been experiencing blood and protein in my urine. After a very thorough assessment from a urologist everything came back normal. I was referred to see a nephrologist to see if the blood is coming from my kidneys. my kidney panel came back normal except for lower than normal creatinine levels???? but my urinalysis came back all wrong. It's showing 3+ for blood, 100 mg for protein, 1+ bilirubin, urine color is brown, ph of 5.5.
The dr also order a ANA test to check for lupus, but it came back negative. I'm completely lost, can a person have kidney disease w/normal kidney function?or lupus nephritis w/negative ANA test?

View 1 RepliesTrigeminal Neuralgia :: Sharp Pain In Right Side Of Face
For 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?

My husband has been suffering from lower left pain and tenderness in his abdominal area. He also has loose stool and a lot of the time feels like he needs to go, but can't. Cramping included. He randomly feels nauseous. His pain is also cause with eating, so he avoids eating big portions. He does eat yogurt, one cup a night. It sometimes helps. He has had a colonoscopy done and it was clean. Heartburn is also included, he takes rolaids every night. I just wish I could help him. I hate seeing him in pain! What is wrong with him?
View 1 RepliesThyroid Disorders :: Hands, Feet And Face Swelling, Joint Pain
I have had Hashimoto's for twelve years. Seems like my levels have never been "right". I've tried Synthroid, Levo and Armour and nothing seems to keep my levels steady. I went to Dr four months ago with severe swelling in hands feet and face and severe joint pain and fatigue. My TSH was 34. He switched me from levo to armour (90 mgs). The first week I felt much better but started swelling again and had terrible fatigue. Went back about two weeks later and he changed me to synthroid 150mgs. The swelling got a little better but still fatigued and joint pain is always there. I went to my gyno for yearly exam two weeks ago and they tested my TSH. it was .05 so gyno lowered synthroid to 125 mg and told me to come back in eight weeks. I'm feeling terrible again.. in bed today because of severe fatigue and joint pain and hands and feet are terribly swollen. Had anyone else had these symptoms with Hashimoto's? I'm wondering if it's the medication that's making me sick.
