Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Stiff neck with tingling face sensations and awkwardness moving arms and legs should be evaluated for some neurological discomfort . Get you baseline work up and evaluation for TIA or early stroke manifestations. Sometimes it may be some local cause like middle ear pathology or sinuses congestion that present like this stiff neck and facial numbness and tingling. Its too early to comment on the possibility. It can be nothing to worry about, it can be something to worry about. Only visit to a doctor and some baseline work up and clinical correlation will clear things up. Lets hope for the best.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
