Pain and numbness in left cheek an
I've had altered sensation and tingling on the left side of my face (mainly the lower jaw, chin, and cheek) since about a year ago after pressure to the area. It was mild initially but has become more noticeable recently. I also have pain when I sleep on my left side with my face against the pillow. My facial movements seem normal, but the left side feels different and speaking feels slightly different to me.
