Bells Palsy

[PM99]

I’ve had Bell’s palsy for nearly 3 weeks now & have found that my ear & jaw on the side of paralysis is very sensitive & extremely painful. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi PM99, I had Bell’s palsy some years back and I remember the paralysis of my face. It would be logical for there to be pain too as nerves are playing not very friendly games. I hope that yours settles down soon.

Best wishes
