Sinus Or Migraine - Can't Deal With the Pain Any Longer Posted: 08-21-05 12:55pm
Hi,
i have been having one sided pain pressure
behind my right eye for over a year now.
I had very bad pnemonia and within 4 weeks
of having it, I went overseas, 14 hour
flight, so the pressure could have started
it all. Over time my eye is swollen on
lower lid and puffy and the pain is daily
and I can't take it any longer, please can
someone suggest something. I have been to
my dr who said it was migraine, they treat
me with migril, anti inflammatory which
helped....Now which one helped, the migril
or pain killer and anti inflammatory, I
always took them together. Then he sent
me off to a ear,nose and throat specialist
who looked down my nose with this scary
long tube, and said my sinus are fine.
Next step to a neurologist who just put me
onto tranqulizers, trepiline,which were
meant to help migraines....Which did
nothing, I stopped after a month. I just
continue daily to take anti inflammatory
and pain killers, which help, and
sometimes migril. Now my one sie is
really painful, almost like I have got an
infection, over my right ear side. Would
migraines cause my eye to swell and puff
out so much, or could it be sinus that
dr's are just not picking up. My inner
gut feeling is, sinus. I am in such pain
:cry:

Just Confirmed....sinus Posted: 08-27-05 13:16pm
I have just had confirmation from the
ear,nose & throat specialist that
there is a blockage behind the eye. He
said he does not come across this often
and what happened was, before I was over a
bad flu, I flew overseas and the pressure
in the plane, blocked the sinus and it got
progressively worse. It has taken them 18
months to eventually diagnose me, after I
was on tranquilisers for 6 months, and
dr's telling me it was neurological. This
week, first tiem in over a years, I have
been pain free, due to the correct meds,
and a correct diagnosis.........He now
wants to operate, has anyone had this op
and how bad is it? :roll:
