It's only a matter of time until a DCUM poster throws out MS!

I need more info than that. Why?


Someone mentions stroke and MS and you need more than that? Good grief.


OP here. I've checked the symptoms and I don't think it's either of the 2.

Could be tooth related. Have you had a root canal? There could be an infection but you can't feel it without the nerve.

Bell's palsy is also possible.


Is the worst concern stroke? I'm 33 and in fairly good health. This has also been going on for a few days.


My sister was 31 when she had her first mini stroke and was in excellent health.

It could be trigeminal neuralgia. I would see a doctor and explore whether neurologic referral would be appropriate.

Bell's palsy was my first thought. But it could also be tooth-related. Get it checked out.

Lift up both arms, does one drag slightly? Look in the mirror and smile. Is your face symmetrical?

I'd call your doctor to be on the safe side, they might want you to get checked out to make sure it isn't a stroke or transient ischemic attack (which would be more likely than a full blown stroke)

Not pain per se but it just feels weird. The best way to describe it is..a sensation. I had my bottom wisdom tooth removed, and the upper has shifted. Could this be an abscessed tooth? The sensation has radiated up to my left eye.
