Experiencing dysesthesia on the left side of my face. Started with a seering pain, that I thought might be dental- but oral surgeon and dentist ruled out any problems there. Also met with my primary care, and took two courses of antibotics to make sure I didn't have an ear infection. 5 months later, still experiencing pain and discomfort. Had tinnitus in ear, and vertigo. Saw neurologist, and he agrees that it may be the ear, but didn't suggest to what, nor did he seem too concerned.
I'm beginning to experience more loss of sensation in my face, and still no closer to an answer. I also have similar dysesthesia on my left side. I am told that it is a 'Central Nervous' problem. How concerned should I really be?
Facial numbness and pain on just the left side-?

Laurie is right, I don't want to scare you either but sometimes after going through seeing the physicians that you have it might not be a bad idea to see and get another opinion from another neurologist. I hope you find the answer please keep us posted,
