Title: Dull pain in my left cheek
Post by: davidst on February 23, 2017, 08:15:00 am

For about a week now I've experienced a dull pain in the left side of my cheek. I know that its not a dental related issue as Ive checked with my dentist. Its kind of in the area near the cheek bone I think.

Can anyone recommend what sort of dr I should see? What sort of tests should I get done? I live in a country area of SE Asia and the medical dr's are not the best here. I might have to travel to the nearest big city. The dr here will probably dismiss my concern to be honest.

I think its strange that it suddenly happened. I wonder what it could be caused by. If you have any ideas it would be appreciated.

thanks

davidst, welcome to the forum. Are you pre or post treatment?

I'm pre-treatment.

I hope that I don't have anything serious like a facial nerve tumor.

I think that I will go to see an ENT dr today.

I read on another website about a guy that had similar issues. He ended up going to have an MRI done.

If anyone has any opinions it would be appreciated.
