Default faical numbness

I started having left sided facial numbness one week ago. Had a CT scan that was negative. Have been on steroids for 5 days but have seen no improvement. what could be the cause? the doctors are thinking maybe Bell's Palsy but i have no drooping of the face.

Hi Hodgesa! Welcome to NeuroTalk!

Have you seen a neurologist? Your symptoms could reflect many different conditions, so my first line of defense would be to see a neurologist. I hope you find some answers soon.
