wow some md on brian sutterer's comments section correctly identified bell's palsy based on what limited information he had.

[@jelorer]

One sided weakness has a limited amount of things it could be to be fair. Stroke, bell's, acute damage.

[@jasonphan2001]

​@@jelorer Brian didnt even mention Bells Palsey & even argued against ut until today when it was clear.

[@tluvsbeauty1]

It is a strangely specific condition, and Bell’s palsy would be the most likely by far when you factor in that he’s currently playing basketball (ie, definitely not something like a stroke). It would make sense that a doctor assumed nerve damage, and this is the most common type to present like this. I was hoping it wasn’t though:( just because nerve stuff is always scary, bc even when it’s super likely to get better in a few months, there’s always a small chance it won’t, just like with anything nerve related:(

[@RoseCurry5]

My dad has bells palsy. A few months before we knew, he fainted on two different occasions right in front of my mom and I had to call 911. We assumed it was a heat stroke because he also puked and we were outside mid summer. One day he complained of serious pain in his left ear. Then two days later, he woke up with the whole left side of his face drooping. We thought he had a stroke. Now his left eye is permanently lazy and whenever he starts getting too stressed, it will swell a little and it will turn red and run water. His left side never fully recovered to what it was and it's been 6 years. I really hope Joel can get this under a certain amount of control. What bells palsy does to a person can make them so insecure and self conscious. I don't want that to happen to him.

When I was 7 or 8 I was sitting next to this kid who just came back to school from having chicken pox and by the time I got home I was screwed. After I had chicken pox I got sick with Bell's Palsy.
