numb mouth

[thecakes]

                 Hi I had my surgery Oct.02.  I had a stroke and 2 seusures and 3 operations because my brain swelled up.  I went in a coma for 6 weeks.  Maybe that was good because I can remember no pain but the stroke was no fun I was then in a wheelchair.  I'm getting off the subject.  I have a real bad numbing on the tumor side of my face.  I think it is getting worse instead of better.  Its so cold all the time.  This does'nt sound like a lot to put up with but it is.  Anybody have this?   Why does it seem like it is getting worse instead of better?  the cakes.{patti}

Hi- I'm no expert. But it sounds like nerve damage. I have had many herniated disks in my back, and 3 surgeries.  My legs and feet have sustained permenant nerve damage, hence the circulation isn't good, and they are numb, tingly and cold.  Luckily, my face isn't as numb as it was pre-surgery, and gets better every day. Good luck. ::)luv2teach
