A member asked:
Muscles tender to touch. was on presidone for 2 weeks for bell's palsy. could it be from bell's or presidone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects of Rx: The muscle tenderness would most likely be a side effect of the oral steroid rather than from the Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy causes the weakness of the face, but does not typically come with muscle tenderness.
