Facial Pain Treated

The patient also stated that she was experiencing pain in the ear canal, and had difficulty smiling on the right side of her face, as well as very limited ability to raise her right eyebrow. The patient reports that three years earlier she underwent nasal surgery and the surgeon “nicked” the facial nerve and a branch of the vagus nerve.
