Question 5

what are signs of stroke or bell's palsy? can you get this when you're 15?

Accepted Answer

Stroke v Bells: Both of these conditions can cause facial weakness.  Usually, but not always, a stroke causes weakness on one side of the face, of the lower face (mouth) only.  This is apparent when someone tries to smile.  Bell's palsy affects the upper and lower parts of the face, so it is hard to close the eye tightly shut and to smile, on one side of the face.  There are always exceptions, but this is helpful.

Question 9

my 18 week old son has been diagnosed w/ hypotonia and is getting pt. neuro wants to wait/see. when would signs of cerebral palsy or muscular dis show?

Accepted Answer

Not so fast: I know you are probably reading ahead &amp; preparing for the worst, but take a break. Hypotonia is very non specific &amp; sometimes transient in infancy.  I worry more about hypertonia in infants as a precursor to CP &amp; MD  has a much later onset of any observable changes. The PT will likely not only help but the technician may begin to detect positive changes over time.

Question 10

is it a good or a bad sign if your lip and chin twitch during healing of bell's palsy?

Accepted Answer

Bell's palsy: It depends on how complete the paralysis to begin with and how far into the healing process you are. Twitching indicates nerve regeneration in the paralyzed regions, but can be permanent in a minority of cases. Healing usually happens starting at 3 weeks and ending up to 6 months later. Most people heal completely. Make sure you protect your eye from drying with natural tears and lubricants.
