A small area of my upper lip, left side, is not moving when I speak. When I smile or do other facial expressions, it appears normal or more normal. No other part of my face is drooping, abnormal, etc., just this one area. I've been asked twice in the last month if I've just been to the dentist as it looks like my mouth is still numb from dental work, but I have not. What could be the etiology of this and any cures?

My son is a healthy 12-year-old tennis player who recently started complaining of chest pain, describing it as a bruised, tender feeling directly in the center of his chest. Breathing has become difficult at times. He just walked into the room with his shirt off, and I was alarmed to see a deep indentation right in this area where he is referring to pain. There is no swelling, though. I have an appointment scheduled for him to see a doctor, but I'm quite concerned and would like to know any opinion you might have. Thank you.

I have been experiencing headaches that are not sinus-related, located in the middle top to sides of my head. Common pain relievers like aspirin, Tylenol, and Advil have not worked. What could be causing these headaches and what can I do about them?

My last period was on January 26, 2006, and I started bleeding yesterday. Is this my period, or what's going on? Why did my period come after 4 1/2 months?
