Synkynesis and some other stange things

Posted , 3 users are following.

English is not my first language but I hope you will understand my problem.

I got Bell Palsy on January 21st this year- left side- and within one hour I got the treatment in the hospital.. First move on the cheek after 2 weeks. I had physical therapy, acupuncture, acupressure etc...

I have my full smile again, can not close the eye completely and until last week I was quite satisfied.  Ophthalmologist says since I have double vision that my eye turned upward for 2

 degrees....

Last  week I experienced twitching on my left cheek and near the nose, and my left corner of the mouth always goes to the left ear, like I want to smile and I fell  in that area which makes me very nervous.

Also, when I raise my eyebrows, I have a smile on the left side. My therapist says it is synkynesis after 3 months.

Also, I am starting to fell pain on the affected side and pain behind ears on the both side...

Any similar experience!? What else I should do?

Thank you!!!
