Is this in your opinion, a reason for the facial feelings? a surgical decision can not be, under any condition, be taken on line. Straightening of the cervical lordotic curve. LOL.) Tingling is more reliable because it indicates an acute irritation of a nerve while numbness indicate a chronic process The MRI results says: At C-3, C-4, there is a bulging disc to the left of the midline producing effacement of the ventral subarachnoid CSF space. Its not like a a falling asleep tingling, more like a hair on my face, or a short little buzz sensation, almost like you should hear the buzz on the outside when it does it. Hi, Thanks for the help, are you saying that if the C-3 was the cause of my symptoms that I would have it on both sides of my face? yes (some books say even C4) (Because for the longest time it was just on the left side, now it has started on the right.

However the symptom of feeling numbness when you flex your spine (placing your chin on your chest) is called l'hermittes sign and although non-specific can some times indicate a demyelinating lesion in the spine (as are found with multiple sclerosis). I cannot explain facial numbness based on a C6-7 disc. The muscles supplied by the nerve roots C6 (biceps, brachialis, etc) and C7 (triceps, etc) are all in the arm, and they also provide cutaneous sensation (sense of touch to the skin) of the lateral aspect of the arm. In the worst cases it can lead to permanent loss of the ability to use that arm. ![]() In the most mild cases the the numbness and tingling is intermitent and not bothersome. A bulging disc a C6-C7 is most likely to compress the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column and can cause a range of symptoms (dpending on the severity) which include pain, muscle weakness and atrophy in the muscles affected or numbness and tingling.
