Eye twitch face numb pinched nerve?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: You could have some facial numbness or eye twitching from pinched nerves, but they do not normally go together. If it remains more than two weeks, you may need to consider having this worked up. If you are having any tongue twitching or jerking, changes in vision, abnormal fatigue, or any other unusual symptoms with this, you may need to ask you physician about a multiple sclerosis work up.

Not related: I am assuming you mean "pinched nerve" in the neck? This would probably not be related to facial numbness or eye twitching. Furthermore, two different nerves control facial sensation and eyelid closure, so more than one nerve would have to be irritated. Other conditions, such as ms as mentioned, could play a role in all 3.
