Browning Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Any of you ever get a real sharp pain behind either of your eyes, or know what may cause it? About twice a month, I get a sharp, piercing pain behind my right eye. It hurts to keep it open, it hurts to shut it. The pain last about 30 minutes every time. Just to give you an idea of the level of pain that this brings to me. I have found myself a couple times, sitting on the floor because it makes it gets worse when I move around. Anybody ever get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 A liuttle, yes. But, it wasnt very bright out when it started. Its starting to go away now a little bit.

Alex1647545498 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I would probably see a doctor if I were you. Your eyes aren't something to be left neglected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rane Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I had something like that when I was younger that would basically cripple me. If your sensitive to light you might need to get a spinal tap to make sure you dont have spinal meningidist(sp!!??!) There are two types fatal and non.

Alex1647545498 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Go to webmd.com try to see if you can find similar symptoms and see if the causes are serious enough for you to go to see a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SweeeetSilvia Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 It sounds like a migraine- I get them very often and every now and then get the same thing but it rotates from one side to the other. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Originally posted by Browning: No, I hardly ever drink anymore.well try doing some shots next time. The optic nerve is the most effected by alcohol, thats why some moonshine and cleaning solutions make ya blind. Perhaps some booze will serve as a an anestetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest infamous me 235 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Migraines = Death I used to get around 2 Migraines a month where I HAD to be laying down in complete darkness and complete silence or it would just make me want to curl up in the fetal position and cry. When I was younger, they thought I had a brain tumor because I got them so often and of how bad they hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 My wife has a psuedo-tumor; it's where the body thinks it has a brain tumor due to other conditions. She has crystals forming on her optic nerve and her body was producing too much cerebral fluid. She DID have to have a spinal tap to release some of the pressure (spinal fluid does not go away), and she was on medication to reduce the symptoms. Her symptoms were dizziness and loss of vision (temporary), but eye pain is another. Talk to your doctor, unchecked this condition can cause permanant vision loss.

Guest GSRchick714 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Could be just migraines but it could be something else. I get migraines all the time and usually any medicine I take is over the counter and does nothing...they suck But I'd say go to the doctor for sure just to check that you're ok!
