Pain behind eye with headache....

An update: I'm still getting the right-side-of-the-head pain and behind the right eye.....say my GP who referred me to have a CT of the brain done....got to the hospital two weeks ago, only to have the nurse say 'the machine isn't working; would you like to re-schedule?'.....
I said I will wait for about 1/2 hour while the tech guy looks at it and keep me posted.....well, 1 1/2 hrs later she says it needs a new part....I struck up a conversation with an elderly volunteer there, so waiting wasn't a waste of time :giggle: Will I reschedule? Hell no....not going near the hospital any time soon, only to possibly get infected with the virus! In the meantime I switch back and forth taking acetaminophen and the migraine pain relief....soon as they wear off I have to take more.....
 

I had horrible migraine headaches from age 12 to age 50. Had many mri's and ct scans done looking for causes. Mine were always on the left side behind my eye. Got up to go to work one morning when I was 50 and had one that was different. Called doctor and she said to get to door as she was calling 911. I fell and remember crawling to the door to let emt;s in. Rushed to hospital and had emergency brain surgery. I had a brain aneurysm that ruptured. Brain started to swell and was put in a medical induced coma for 6 weeks. My family gathered to pull the plug as I had a DNR. That morning the doctor came in and I said "good morning". When he recovered he told the kids that with aggressive rehab I had a chance. The aneurysm never showed on the many scans I had. That was 20 years ago and it has acted up twice since then. So I have a clip and 2 coils to keep it in place. Sorry for not spacing but I was upset after reading the above post.
 
I have now what doctors call "late effects CVA" which will follow me the rest of my life. I was blessed that my mind was not affected. But I have kidney disease which I monitor closely with a Renal doctor. Left side weakness as brain pathways cannot be repaired on that side.
 

i also have those silent migraines with the wavy lines--i know when one is coming on cause the t v starts getting a little blurry--their is no pain so i set back in my recliner for a while and it will go away--i do have menieres disease

Been going on for about three weeks...saw the optometrist and was confirmed my eye pressure is normal, no detached retina, no nerve damage, etc....put me on prednisone drops for three weeks....just started using yesterday...
been experiencing this for the last year, on and off, but after being hit with a small metal toy truck by the gr'daughter at the eye site, it got worse with pain 24/7 and only an otc pill consisting of tylenol, aspirin and caffeine takes the pain away....
anyone else experience this in the past or present?

I have the same problem....It started when I was cleaning the pool in August...The chlorine got in my eye....My eye swelled up...went to
an eye doctor...It seemed to be OK after medicine....I was putting drops.....In the winter it was somewhat OK...I still have the Sty....never goes
away....Now that it is hay fever season, it's acting up again....tearing all the time....We are not home to see my eye Doctor....We are mostly
in the house because of what is going on in the world....I will have to find a Eye Doctor here, if he or she can take me...I hope the prednisone drops help you....I'll have to tell the Doctor about that.....Be well....in this time of stress...

Sorry, this is peppermint again....I just texted that I have the same thing going on with me....Is acetaminophen over the counter? I will go to
the drug store to see what they say....I'm only using Visine....Not helping.....Thanks for anything you can tell me.....
 
Geez, looks like I'm not alone with this ailment....all we can do is accept and maintain what we got, with the docs help.

I get those too .. aura migraines. No pain, bright white moving spikey arcs that start off small and gradually get bigger.

Yes its Tylenol OTC.....I take 500-1000 at a time....my docs always said its okay....if you take less, it doesnt work....usually wears off in six to eight hours for me....every so often it lasts up to twelve hours.....was rotating with ibruprofen but that constipates me and upsets my stomach if I continue for a few days so not taking it at all....

Do you get the 'aura', the Aurora Borealis type.

That's what I get but no headache at all. It comes and goes in about half an hour and I can see it coming and can't do anything to stop it.

That's what I get the auras blood pressure hike, very warm and shaky.. then after a while I'm ok, but so puzzled as to why it happened

I will have to stop posting here.đź‘ş

By the way I also just feel it's coming. I just don't feel right before it happens. And then I can see a tiny bit of brightness which then expands into a zigzag pattern in a semi circle.
At one time I had to go to bed because the pain was so intense.
Now it's called a silent migraine.

That's the way mine act too, though frequently I get the aura without the actual headache. I've been very lucky -- I've only had two migraines that were actually disabling.
