Question 1

what kind of treatment for paresthesia?

Accepted Answer

Two possibilities: Paresthesia can result from trauma to the nerves serving the affected area. If there is something putting pressure on the nerve, sometimes removal of the offending object can relieve the paresthesia. Other times, the cause of the paresthesia may not be evident and may be the result of just disturbing the nerve (eg. Nearby extraction). In such cases, the passage of time will usually relieve the it.

Question 2

Question 3

Question 4

can you tell me about post op paresthesia (numbness) for an extensive time after dental treatment?

Accepted Answer

Vague explanation: What is extensive time? What procedure was done? What did your dentist or surgeon say? What therapy was tried to alleviate the paresthesia? Which area of your mouth? What caused the condition (injection/extraction/infection)? Your dentist/surgeon should have been immediately advised of the problem... let them know so that you can be evaluated.

Question 5

is it normal to experience post op paresthesia (numbness) for an extensive time after dental treatment?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Paresthesia may occur for a variety of reasons. If the cause of this condition is infection than it is abnormal and needs attention.  If the cause was traumatic it may take an extensive time for the condition to reverse itself.  Unfortunately when caused by trauma it does not always reverse itself however this is uncommon and usually predicted prior to the procedure.  See your doctor for more info.

Question 6

can you tell me about experiencing post op paresthesia (numbness) for an extensive time after dental treatment?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged numbness: Sometimes a tooth can be extracted, and if the roots are close to the nerve- often in the imandible, the (inferior alveolar nerve) can be irritated, injuried, torn and the effects are a prolonged numbness that can be permanent, but often is temporary.  This can happen with other extractions also.  This is often discussed as a potential risk of extractions.  Can also be caused by infection, cysts, .

Question 8

i have been doing physical therapy and had an epidural steroid injection done for a pinched nerve (l5). i am pain free but have developed twitching and tingling in legs and feet. can painless paresthesia and twitching be a sign of nerve regeneration?

Accepted Answer

: Maybe, and could be part of the nerve stabilization as a result of decreased nerve compression.  Best way to objectify what is occurring is via the administration of an EMG/ NCT.  This could be chosen electively if problems persist.  Have your doctor update the evaluation.

Question 9

could a c4-c5 &c5c6 disc herniation cause parethesia in face, head arms and legs? what is treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

No: Cervical disc herniations  result in pain radiating into the arms with the nerve roots arising from the spinal cord. Sometime may result in body tingling. Facial pain, numbness and tingling are a result on cranial nerves that arise directly from the brain . At this time i would recommend that you see a pcp to begin an evaluation to establish the correct diagnosis and then a correct treatment plan.
