What is a Hemifacial Spasm?
(http://ow.ly/jbR930p02IF)
Hemifacial spasms occur when the muscles on one side of the face suddenly begin twitching. This may be caused by damage to the cranial facial nerve. Twitching may be experienced near the eyebrow, cheek, mouth, chin, jaw, and upper neck. You may be able to prevent symptoms by getting enough rest, reducing stress, and reducing caffeine intake. Nutrients such as Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Chamomile can also help control the spasms.

Sciatica is a symptom that can result from a pinched nerve that affects lower spinal nerves. It usually feels like a leg cramp or causes pain in the leg. The pain can be minimal or can feel like shooting pain, making it very difficult to stand. Another cause may be related to a slipped disc as there is increased pressure on the nerves.
