What Causes Knee Pain, Left-sided Torso Pain, Left Shoulder Joint Pain, Tingling Numbness Of The Swollen Left Upper Lip, Left Heel Pain, Mild Cold And Occasional Headaches?
Question: I have about 4 or 5 teeth that need to be removed, all wisdom teeth, and the main one on the left bottom of my mouth is my biggest concern. For the last couple years I've experienced pain and pressure in the left chest area, all test said I'm fine. But more recently I've added knee pain, left side torso pain, left shoulder pain at the joint, swelling, numbness, and tingling of the left side of my upper lip, pain in the heel of my left foot, mild cold and occasional headaches.
Brief Answer:
Your other symptoms are not appearing related to teeth
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Well the symptoms of numbness, swelling and tingling of cheek can be due to the wisdom tooth causing inflammation of the nerve endings. Also, the cold and headache can be related to the sinus infection or sinusitis. It can also be due to seasonal allergies.
But the other symptoms that you have mentioned are not appearing to be due to tooth related problem. It can be due to gastric problem. Once, get checked by a general physician.
However, I do not think there is any problems getting teeth removed, but better to be on a safer side so get clinically checked once. It will be better if you get wisdom teeth pulled by an oral surgeon.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards

The numbness tingling and swelling is in my lip, specifically on the upper lip only the left side. The concerning part is that all the symptoms seem to be on the left side. My lip has been gradually swelling over a week or so. You can barely tell unless you really look but of course I noticed it. I will schedule an appointment.
Brief Answer:
Yes, you need a clinical examination.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, you should get clinically checked. However, the swelling and numbness of lip is probably due to the wisdom tooth only.
