Facial numbness.

Bits of my face keep going numb randomly and I get an electric shock feeling in my top lip, I've watched it go to and fro in the mirror. It's starting to be painful now.

I have fibromyalgia and neuropathy in my hands. Recently my left shoulder has been really painful and causing my left arm and hand to go numb and tingly.

I am worried about my face. Do any of you lovely people have any ideas? I'm due to see the neurologist on Thursday but I'm expecting it to be cancelled due to the virus. Is there anything in particular that I should ask or say to him?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi Sazzer. Sorry you are in pain , those symptoms you describe I can relate to numbness and tingling sensation , do you have any pain or tingling sensation on and off in your neck and would the pain in your shoulder also be round your clavicle area on and off.

Hi, I have neck pain occasionally but no tingling. I do have pain in my left clavicle, not my right.
