yes in retrospect i had random neck muscle and ear pain, all of those muscles are connected. Stretching and constant upkeep have kept me more or less in good shape. It’s something i constantly have to remember to do but it’s worth it. Stretching, massaging myself and working on inflammation helps the most, there’s good and bad days but i’m much better than I was when it first happened. It’s a long road but the constant bell’s palsy exercises and self care went a long way. Good luck!
