I am 43 and had surgery 10 months ago. I still have mild lid numbness, but in the past month have developed blepharospasms. They occur all day long. I feel one lid get very heavy then it will begin to spasm. Then the other lid starts right after. I started taking extra vitamins thinking I was deficient. I use lubricating drops regularly without relief. My doctor is telling me I need Botox shots to stop the twitching. It is interfering with my work. My swelling status post surgery took about 5 months. I feel that I did not heal well either and I always thought I healed well from surgery in the past. Anyone have any other suggestions? I am very worried about having these shots in my eyelids! This has been my worst surgical recovery ever.
