Facial numbness



The right side of my face has been numb since December 8, 2021. From the middle of my upper lip, upper gum, teeth and jaw to just under my eye and includes the bottom edge of my nose. Feels almost like I have novicane starting to wear off

I was first treated for shingles, I had no rash with prednisone Valacyclovir, which had no effect

Was told not bell palsy as no drooping.

I received an MRI which was normal except for a maxillary retention cyst on the LEFT side that I was told had no effect with what I was feeling on the right side.  

Was told to visit neurologist again in six months (will be May 2022)

Went to both chiropractor and massage to see if it has something to do with neck - no changes

X-rays at Endo-dentist and nothing tooth related

I also tried CBD oil as was told it may relax agitated nerves

Am on no medications and only take a multi-vitamin.  No headaches or other issues except some sinus drainage after visiting chiropractor

Any ideas on what to try next?
