Some days are worse than others and I will have facial muscle spasms which stop me in my tracks. Do the very best you can with what you have. Here in the US there are pain management clinics. I havent been to them but Ive heard good things about them having lots of options to help. You have OCF so you are never alone with your after effects!
Best wishes for many better days ahead!
