Question
I had recovered from facial palsy six months ago, but recently I’ve been feeling occasional twitching in my facial muscles. Could it be a post-treatment syndrome of facial palsy?
Answer
Incomplete treatment of facial palsy can easily lead to myofascial spasm. Based on your description, it might be myofascial spasm. It is advisable to seek treatment actively, considering conventional treatments or a combination of acupuncture with Chinese medicine taken internally. With the recent cold weather, it’s easy to get sick, so you should pay attention to staying warm. You can also use a moxibustion stick to perform moxibustion on acupoints on your face and hands. It is recommended that you consult a local Chinese medicine practitioner who can combine pulse diagnosis and Chinese medicine prescriptions with acupuncture treatment.
