So for years, I struggled with sciatic nerve issues, and it finally occurred to me they only happen in my summer residence, where I have a cushy reclining leather sofa, or when traveling by car and spending a lot of time sitting on a hotel bed doing computer stuff or watching TV. In my winter home, where a much firmer and smaller Lay-z-boy rocker came with the house, not so much. It turned out it was compression on the nerve from poor posture on the cushy couch - when I put a firm memory-foam seat cushion (meant for a car) on it, the problem got better. When I added one to my computer chair and driver's seat, better still. Finally, when I added daily stretches recommended by my ortho doc to my daily exercise regimen - poof! Gone.

Not sure I agree about ignoring the facial numbness...

Hello almost, did u figure out what was causing the chin numbness?

I have Trigeminal Neuritis which is similar to Trigeminal Neurlagia except I am more numb in the whole right side of my face, teeth, scalp & gums. I have similar symptoms but my Neurologist says it presents as an infection or inflammation and since I have an autoimmune disease they have connected it to that. No Cures, they rarely see this so it is considered a rare disease. It can slowly progress to neck and arms, but it will most likely be very slow if it does travel. I have had MRI’s for this but nothing appears to be seen. I guess compared to some of these other circumstances, its not too bad, but for me its bad enough, Scary not knowing.
