Alpaca
Same thing with my mother. As long as she is moving around the pain is not as bad . For some reason when my mom sits in her recliner or rest in her bed some swelling sets in and that's when the pain gets worst. The doctor said it could be lymphedema. There are massages to the face that seem to help the fluid move and it relieves some of the pain.
Maybe you should request a CT or MRI scan to see what going on to be sure.
Good Luck
Heidi
