What does this mean? I've had Bell's Palsy before, this is the second time.
Anyways, I've had it again for about a week now. I can't budge the entire left side of my face. I can feel it, those who don't know the symptoms, it's not numb. Just paralyzed.
So that side of my face (the muscles) are sore and tender to the touch. It's definitely only that side and is definitely the muscles.
Does this mean my Bell's Palsy is getting better? I only had it about a week last time too.
Or is it just sore because I've been straining somewhat to get my facial muscles to move?
So should I just try not to pull at the muscles, or should I be expecting facial paralysis to be done?
I'm scared and excited about the soreness. I personally think this is a good sign. Anyone have an expert opinion?
