Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
3 days ago I woke up with numbness on the left side of my face, including the roof of my mouth. The numb area also itches, but cannot be scratched - by that I mean, when I try to scratch there is no relief, almost like there was really no itch to begin with... today I am experiencing pain in my sinuses on the affected side. Have not yet seen a doctor due to a lapse in insurance.
