Having Bell Palsy, Balance Problems, Joint Pain, Weakness In Legs. What Could It Be?
Yes, I have had bell palsy on the left side of my face for a year. It started the day of my cataract surgery on my left eye. I have had a mri, cat scan, eeg, and blood work done. Everything still points only to the bell palsy. I am 68 years old with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, rest leg syndrome, and thyroid problems. The past 2 months I have been having problems with balance, my joints hurting, and weakness in my legs after setting. I know I am getting old but this isn t right. Now could I have something else going on?
