I had Bell's Palsy many years ago caused by shingles in my left ear (painful) which in turn had been caused (according to my doc) by a fractured vertebra (even more painful).
I was given a course of steroids and told that it could be permanent if the nerves were severely damaged. It took a month or two to recover completely.
Look on the bright side, it makes one side of your face look younger - sorry.
