» 444456 - bells plasy

Hi

My docotors mentioned bells plasy in a recent visit to the doctors as my left hand side of my face was going numb and I had terrible pain in my left ear region. I am awaiting a MRI scan at the momment, however, recently I am experiencing alot of saliva and also I seem to be slurring my words alot.

Could the new symptons be anything to do with the diagnosis of possible bells plasy?

Thanks

Julie

In response to bells plasy posted by 444456:
Hi Julie---
Bell's Palsy is caused by damage to the 7th cranial nerve. All of these problems you have (ear pain, facial numbness, mouth weakness/slurring, and saliva/drooling) are symptoms of Bell's Palsy. I hope you are correctly diagnosed soon, and if you have Bell's Palsy, it is treatable. Good luck and check back to let me know how you're doing!
