I have a continous ligt light shivering/tingling in my jaw (mouth bracket) which sometime gives me very unconfortable feeling and its happening since very long time. I have DNS but sinuses are clear but not sure cause of this shivering/tingling. All blood reports are normal. What dignosis test require? MRI brain can be helpful? Please help which specialist can treat me...
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERN. Thanks for your query. There can be many cause of numbness and tingling sensation (paresthesia) usually in nerve like injured, damage or diseased nerve or sometimes compressed nerve. These symptoms can also occur due to some medical condition involving nerves like diabetic neuropathy and multiple sclerosis. Exposure to extreme temperature can also be one of the cause. As you are experiencing these symptoms around jaw the most probable case is involvement of mandibular nerve. Treatment involves the treatment of underlying condition. I would suggest you to consult oral maxillofacial surgeon/neurosurgeon without any delay for proper examination and to rule out serious conditions like stroke. Doctor may order MRI along with other test and treat it accordingly. For now what you can do is start massage and physical therapy of face. You can also start taking multivitamin supplements. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
