Let’s hope it’s not trivial.

No pain? I’m glad that you had no pain. I had a horrible stabbing pain the first 3-4 days and moderate pain that faded over 2-3 weeks. After 6 weeks I can twitch one muscle under my eye, so I hope his recovery goes faster than mine is.

Jena, I,ve had this & I was told that there is NO treatment for it. Only time will heal…even now 15
years later I still have tearing in the left eye. It can affect movement of ones eyebrows,eyelids not to mention smile and shape of ones mouth. Good thing is that there is NO pain with this ailment!

Based on that Tan it looks like Coleman has been hanging with George Hamilton since he dropped out of the race.

I think Bell’s Palsy is much more common in people with forked tongues and people who speak out of both sides of their mouth.

I hope he has insurance, because I’ve had this and it’s very expensive to treat. You can also be left with permanent damage. I wonder if he feels fortunate that he has the insurance that he would deny others who have Bell’s Palsy.
