NUMB CHEEK, STROKE?

I've been having a slightly numb feeling in my left cheek just below the  left eye. Also it also feels like I have ice cold water dripping on it. I don't know if I should be alarmed, or if this is something  normal. It's been happening for around 4 weeks. I don't want to see my doctor as he always treats everything like it's nothing. I'm a 33 yr. old female, generally healthy (except for bladder issues).

Thanks for your concern. I think at this point I just might go see my doctor. Thank you, and I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.

My husband had a numb feeling on a small portion of his face and we ignored it for a while and then later on his ring finger and baby finger on his right hand was partially numb. He went to the ER thinking maybe he was having a stroke. (He is 57 and otherwise healthy) The ER doctor did a brain CT scan and found a brain tumor the size of a golf ball.  He was not having headaches.  He was had a brain biopsy and was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme.  The worst brain cancer you can have.  I would never put anything off.  I know doctors are busy these days but be insistent and get checked.

Hi, sounds like what I got. The only thing that I don't have is the confusion...but, then again who isn't confused at times, right? But, you're right; I've had bladder problems since I was little, I have horrible eye sight (-5.5 and -5.75), and now this. I'm going to a urologist this coming week, I've made a list of things that are happening right now but seem irrelevant, I guess it'll be interesting to find out if it could be all related. Let me know if you find anything out.

Hello,
I have something a little similar to your situation, I have had a numb tingling feeling in my face, arm and leg for a while.  I also have some severe bladder issues.  I am wondering, have you ever thought these things might be related?  I have often wondered that myself.  Do you have any other symptoms.  Like, confusion?  Eye problems??
