After lots of phyciscal therapy for my bellspalsy I am still not back to normal. My right eye is weak and the right side of my mouth simply won't smile. The pain I get in my jaw is unbearable and the headaches are coming more frequently. I am 43 and pretty active hiking, horseback riding etc.. is there anything else that can be done? The doctors I have seen have a wait and see attitude but 2yrs I think is quite long enough?? Please point me in the right direction.

Hi Helene!
Is it headachs you are experiencing or Migraines?
If you are unsure, the first thing I would suggest is getting a diagnosis on the headache/Migraine disorder by seeing a neurologist.
Also, check into your medications (if you are taking any) maybe something you started when the bellspalsy struck, that could have headaches as a side effect.
Other then that, maybe massage, acupuncture?
I would go to a neurologist, or even just a different doctor and see if they can help you.
Good Luck!
