I feel mild thickness on my right cheek and sometimes radiate on my jaw,and same sensation on my right shoulder. I had bells palsy on my right cheek last January 2014.I m now ok,my face is symmetric,corners of my mouth are also symmetric but my right eye is still tearing.My question is,the thickness in my cheek is still sign of my bells palsy,but why I fell thickness(sometimes mild pain) in my shoulder?
Hello, I can understand your concern. The thickness in the cheek and jaw you are feeling is because of the residual effects of the Bells Palsy just like you have tearing right eye. It might go away eventually like other effects of Bells Palsy. In addition, the thickness you are feeling in the shoulder is not actually due to the shoulder problem, but it is referred pain. Referred pain is always felt in the area that is far from the area of disease or injury. As the feeling of thickness in jaw and cheek with tearing eye will resolve, the feelings of thickness in shoulder will also go away. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I hope you have faster recovery from the Bells Palsy. Best,
