Experiencing Numbness & Pain In Left Eye Due To Bell's Palsy

I have been experiencing some things that are alarming to me, and I need to know if I should be concerned. I came down with Bells Palsy a few months ago, and it has since cleared up. About 2 weeks ago my left eye started drooping again, and i have been experiencing terrible pain behind my left eye. Almost like a migraine starting but then it never develops. I have had a feeling of pins being poked into my face, and then today an overall numbness is happening all over my face. I have been extremely tired the past couple of days, to the point of not being able to keep my eyes open if Im just sitting down. I have also experienced a burning sensation in different areas like arm and leg. Nothing that stays, it just feels like a pin has been heated and pushed into my skin. Im starting to be concerned. Please any advice would be appreciated

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having drooping of eyelid associated with numbness over face, pricking sensation over arms and legs.
The drooping is because of involvement of third nerve and since you are having other neurological symptoms also you need to consult neurologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
