Title: eye pain
Post by: luv2teachsped on December 27, 2005, 07:24:26 pm

Hi-  After reading, sewing etc... I get so much pain behind my eyes,headache and neck pain that I have to stop what I am doing and rest.  My surgery was in May, and this has become more of a problem in the past month or so.  Anyone else have difficulties with this?luv2teachsped ::)

Nice hearing from you.  I love to read and sew, too!

If you know the pain isn't related to balance or dizziness issues, have you checked with an opthomalogist for a prescription for single vision lenses or bifocal.  If you are moving your head and neck around a lot to focus you can get headaches and sore neck muscles.

Boppie- Glad to hear from you too!  I've been to the eye doctor three times in the past few months.  'Just received new glasses in July!  I've noticed twitching in my right eye also.  I'm assuming it just goes along with AN.  Just wondered if anyone else experienced the pain?luv2teachsped

Hi-
I also have significant pain behind my eye associated with pain at the base of my skull on my surgery side. I have had 2 surgeries, 1 to remove my an and the other to fix my balance issues.  My doctor does not know why I have the pain in the eye and back of the head. it makes it very difficult to do some activities for long periods of time. and it will progress during the day at work. I am sorry you have this also!!!
