Sharp Pain Behind Left Eye

What is your age?

How long this has been troubling you?

Do you suffer from recurrent colds?

Myopia?

On further such symptoms replies a proper diagnosis and prescription can be arrived at. Your symptoms do sound like that of sinusitis and can be confirmed after more details for which homoeopathy has a very good remedy.

I was diagnosed with this after a catscan. My doctor told me that my headaches were a result to it. That it was kinda like a "hole in my sinuses". I took steriods for a short time, and it has improved slightly but not by much!

I have the very same thing, except it's usually in both eyes, and on very bad days I get intense headaches in my eyes, or behind my eyes. It's definitely a sinus thing because i'm congested and I have pressure around my nose. If I take a shower and blow my nose, the headache subsides so I know its a sinus thing. These headaches are a daily thing for me. It's been occuring for about 3 years now. I've just been taking sudafed sinus headache, but lately they've gotten worse. Let me know if you find out more about this eye situation. Hope you feel better.

The pain in the eye could be trochleitis which can lead to headaches and migraines.
Trochleitis is inflammation of the trochlea tendon in the eye socket.
Treatment of this inflammation can often relieve migraine symptoms.

I have had 'floaters' since I was a young kid on my first jet flight. Last week, 20 years later, I noticed a large floater that wasn't moving, and looked like a fly without wings or legs. It's tail seemed to be attached to something. Needless to say, it kind of bugged me out, so I thought maybe it was my imagination, and tried to sleep. While in bed going to sleep, I saw a white flash in the same eye (l) followed by a red dot near the center of my vision. Next day, woke up with a big sleeper in my eye. Put it under a microscope- looked like pieces of what I saw, plus a few insect legs! Black jointed legs with little thorns or spikes on them! Next day went to my Dr., soon saw an opthamologist afterwards, while showing the picture I had drawn while looking at the big 'bug', complete with description of symtoms. My eye was looked at, no abnormalities were spotted. Now when I look towards light I can see smaller versions of this critter. This is worrying the hell outta me, have seen a few smaller flashes/dots toward the side since then. I'm worried that this is some kind of botfly carried in by birds nesting in my apartment complex's soffits - and most of all, my retina will have to be torn before any dr wants to do anything about it. I'll be finding another 'eye Dr.' soon for a 2nd opinion. I know botflies live in warmer climates; ie central/south america.. Not supposed to be in nj. What the heck are these things!!!!

Lately when I get migraines I get very sick to the stomach... Every bright light bothers me and then up chucking starts! Now behind my right eye I have that sharp pain..What can I do about it? Advil, Aleve and all the other stuff I can not take because I am allergic to aspirin or anything with NSAIDS so I am pretty much stuck with it. Any one have any advice to help?

have you gone to your doctor for a med for your head pain? There is a medicine called migranall that you spray in your nose and it is supposed to help relive the pain. A friend of mine swears by it.but best to see your doc if you have allergies or talk to a pharmasist.

I have been experiences the wierdest thing lately, it started about a couple of months ago. I started seeing shadow images of things and it would be in the light and sometime in the dark, along with floaters i called my eye docter and went in everything was normal. About a week later i sarted experiencing flashes of light along with left eye pain(severe), i thought i was dying are going blind i went to the ER they did a cat scan and a MRI everything was perfect. The eye specialists said this should go away in about a year, the jelly in my eye is mess up so there is nothing they can do to correct this problem, i am experiencing horrible pain in my left eye. can someone give me some advice

Layaholiday, are you talking about Central Serous Retinopathy? I have had this and yes, it can take a long time to go away and it could well come back. They say that it affects young men who have high-stress occupations such as airline pilot but I am female and in an academic post so not at all the usual candidate! It is not a dangerous condition but it is annoying.

Gysull, as others have suggested, your symptoms sound like a sinus problem but you reallly need to have this checked, to rule out inflammation of the optic nerve which would not be a good thing to have!

Oops, just noticed this thread was opened 5 years ago! I do hope Gysull got the problem sorted out!
