A member asked:

I had brain surgery last march they got over 50% of the mengimoa tumor and cut the trilgemial nerve which left my right face numb. now it's a lot numb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbness: The trigeminal nerve is the main nerve for sensation or feeling in the face. So if that nerve was damaged, you will have numbness or tingling as a result. This may be permanent. But if there has been a CHANGE in your symptoms, see your doctor.
