Hi everyone!

My mom has has hemi facial spasm for the past 10 years. Last year around October, she went to have MVD surgery with Dr. Anthony Kaufmann in Winnepeg, Canada. After the surgery, she felt like the spasms were slowly getting better/less frequent. But after 2 months, it is now worse than ever! It is very severe and the episodes are basically non stop sad The nurse at the office said to wait 3 more months before checking in again. I'm incredibly worried about her and hate seeing her like this. Just looking for some reassurance that this is perhaps normal and if anyone else have experienced this?
