What Causes Tingling And Numbness On The Left Side Of My Chin?

I am experiencing tingling and numbness on the left side of my chin, from the lower lip downward. I am currently undergoing tests in the hospital, including CT scan , MRI, and ultrasound among others--all with negative results . What questions should I raise with my doctor?

General Surgeon 's  Response
There could be nerve compression of one of the sensory nerves supplying the area. You could get a Nerve conduction test done. Is there any pain in the area or any eruptions? Do let us know. You should feel better with drugs that help nerve stabilization and regeneration like Pregabalin 75mg twice daily. Take care
