how long do you have bells palsy
Hi there James,
It differs with every single person but 50% of people will be completely healed and show no signs of it whatsoever in between 4-12 weeks. Another 30% will have the same result within 6 months. It is a temporary condition.
There are those, like myself, where it take longer to heal. I had bilateral Bell’s Palsy in March 2006. One side has healed completely (I shall say 99.9% as I still see improvements to this day), the other side however, has taken longer to heal and is presently about 68% healed (Yes, I can be that precise – lol – as I have been saying 65% for a while now and yet it is still definitely healing and has most definitely improved recently – and this is 4.5 years down the line).
If this is something you or someone you know has JUST been diagnosed with, then it would be foolish to think that it would be anything other than a short (4-12 weeks) problem. Believe that it is purely a temporary condition and it most probably will be.
Use this site to help with living with Bell’s Palsy and to find out more about it (there is an ebook too that is very good) and feel free to comment with any questions or worries you may have and I will always do my best to help you.

Dear Karen,
I am sorry to hear you are having so many problems and especially after all this time too.
Certainly, the pain in your face, eye and ear could possibly be due to Bell’s Palsy when the weather gets colder, but it should not be severe pain I would not have thought. However, the pain in your arm, leg and bladder is nothing whatsoever to do with Bell’s Palsy and should be checked out seperately. Maybe ask to see a specialist. Bell’s Palsy only affects the 7th Cranial Nerve and that only affects the facial area. It cannot go beyond that.
Please revisit your doctor or even change doctors and ask to see a specialist.
Having spoken to my sister who is a Nurse in the NHS, her advice is to go to a local A&E department (Accident & Emergency) at a hospital. They will be able to check you out and discover what is wrong with your bladder, arm and leg and then put you with the correct specialist to have your problems rectified.
This is important, because it is obvious that your doctor is not picking up on something (maybe quite simple to a specialist) that may or may not be wrong.
I do hope that this helps and that you find the answers and treatment that you are looking for. Tell them about your face (and ear and eye) too, but particularly about any problems you are having with your bladder (and arm and leg)
Please do this and you will get to be seen by the correct people who specialise in that area and not just by the local doctor who, although good, are general practitioners, rather than specialists in certain areas.
Kindest regards,
Robert.
