Lower Back Pain, Physical Therapy, Epidural After Accident. Squamous Cell Cancer Removed, Tingling In Face, Neck. Diagnosis
I was involved in an auto accident two years ago . I had lower back pain and received physical therapy and two epidurals since the accident. I still experience lower back pain and recently have experienced tingling on the left side of my face and neck, it occurs when I bend over or get up from sitting position. I recently was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer on a growth that was removed on my left side of my face several days before I began feeling tingling sensations on my face and occasionally toes. what is my diagnosis?

Dear,
since the growth caused by squamous cell cancer on your face has been removed some nerves might have been sacrificed during surgery. As the nerves have very slow recovery process this tingling sensation will persist for some time unless there is recurrence of disease and there is nerve infiltration,
your accident has nothing to do with your tingling facial sensation.
