Title: EMS and facial weekness
Post by: Shadowwulf on April 15, 2009, 03:52:30 pm

Has anyone the bells palsy tried EMS to keep the msucles working ???

I was fine for 8 days after my AN 2.7cm was taken out then whamo.  My Doc says its a 4 on the scale so I wondered if along with my massage and "exercise" whether using an EMS would be worthwhile or detrimental.

Hi there Shadowwulf:    Check with your doc about this 1st.   My docs said no electrical stimulation.
(however,  I've heard different opinions,  so, check with your doctor).

Always good thoughts,  Nancy
