In January my face started to tingle.  Mainly left side but sometimes on the right. It's also pressure by mouth, cheeks, between eyes & some twitching. Been told it's TMD from clenching at night. When I've gone to phyiso she has said its unusual. It's really wearing me down. Like water torture. You can see my nose twitch when I smile or move my face. I have this the VA & now joint pain (possibly from hrt) I'm so despondent about it all & im really worried what my face is. Anyone had this experience?

HRT usually eases joint pain 

I too get the tingling sensation, in fact I've been more aware of it today even to the point of touching my L cheek ……

Not painful.  My L eye feels tight too …….. what's been suggested by your Dentist to ease tooth clenching?

[Peterspots]

I think the joint pain could be a side effect so I'm hoping it will fade or
I can try something different. A physio has given me exercises to do to ease the muscles. I have a mouth guard to try. I'm just worried it's not that because it feels so odd & twitching.

[CLKD]

What else could it be, what's your main worry about it?  For me it's intermittent so not any point going to the GP 'cos I've forgotten about it 

[Peterspots]

It's not intermittent with me. It's been constant. I'm worried it's going to turn into trigemeral nueralgi or I'll get diagnosed with atypical face pain which means they don't know what it is and it will never go as no one knows how to treat it.  It seems to be getting worse & I don't know how to keep smiling and being positive. I'm just so tired of it all. My body twitches all over but that's not sore.

I've had neuralgia and it is NOWT like the tingling I experience

I am going through exactly the same thing as you my left side of my face is worse my gp said its the nerves and dident seem botherd she give me a tablet to take to help me sleep at night even though I told her its no bother at night !I have recently changed from pill to patch and am not getting on to well with it Im thinking maybe its a side affect It horrid though there all the time.

Hello. Mine started before the hrt. It's horrible. I've been told it's from clenching but if it's at night I'm not sure how to stop it. I'm using a mouth guard at the moment but I'm not sure if it's helping. It's like pressure or tiny tingles/ants. I'm having a rough time as I seem to have reacted to the hrt I'm on & now have joint and muscle pain. I came off Friday night. I hope the muscles joints are side effects as I don't know what to do next. I'm so 😢

Joint and muscle pain is likely to be hormonal but HRT supposedly stops it!

I've had dental work in the area of the cheek which is sensitive.  Using a mouth guard which is built for your mouth may help.  Have you spoken with your Dental Surgeon recently Peterspots?

That's exactly how I describe it - like 1000s of little ants. I had it worst pre HRT (non stop) ; initially it was in my shoulder and sometimes my chin/jaw, but later it moved to my foot. Eventually  it eased for a while, I started Evorel 50 and it returned, though only intermittently. Several months later and I get it for only a matter of minutes, a few times a month. I assume it's the constant dose of hormones helping, but I guess it can never be proven.

Really hope you get some relief soon.

I'm having physiotherapy for my face. I didn't have the muscle joint pain before the HRT & it is a common side effect. i suppose it is the same when people use ADs people can have different side effects. Trying to stay positive. It will all come won't in the wash if I survive that long! X

[CLKD]

If you survive?  Maybe speak with your GP?

Seeing gynae next week

[Peterspots]

Travelling to see a lady who specialises in massage for face pain next Friday. I've been to see maxfax & he says your jaws fine it's the muscles. Seen neurologist had brain MRI & that's fine so please help Me get rid of it please. I don't think they know. There must be someone else who has had muscle pressure tingling in their face &
It's gone (any hope) or is it menopause. Tried the evorel &
I know have joint muscle pain. Stopped nearly a week ago & still have it so maybe it's a coincidence. I don't want a miracle (well I do) I just want to feel better. Maybe menopause lady will try another hrt or I'm just doomed. Feel like no one can understand in real life. They are all fine. It's like so what's wrong with you now. I feel like saying yes it's shit & surprisingly I find it Bork f now too! Sorry just a moan

DOnt apologise. We've all been there! xxxx
