Post Stroke Complications

[Sumzy]

I had a stroke couple of months ago and I my right hand and arm went into paralysis. However, without any OT, they were recovered and I can now do 90% of the stuff that I could do now.

However, I have a facial droop on my right side as my lower face is not responsive.

Can anyone tell me how long such conditions last after a stroke ?

Wow, sorry to hear about your stroke  Please please work with your doctor.  You will want to make sure you are treated medically to prevent any further strokes from happening.  That is terrific that your hand and arm have 90% ability back!  Great progress.  I'm sure you would like to be at 100 percent though.  I think I'd talk to your doctor about the facial paralysis to see what you need to do.  Most often, doing assigned exercises helps but the sooner after the stroke happened, the better.  If you recovered to some extent without OT services, maybe it's time to begin OT or PT to fully recover? Here's an article that has some exercises you can do!  https://www.newyorkfacialparalysis.com/blog/2019/10/28/facial-exercises-for-those-with-facial-droop/  Some are as simple as laughing!  Eye brow stretches, mouth stretches, lip movement, etc.
