Eyes, cheekbone pains and sleepiness!

Hi to all,

I have long time eyes, cheekbone pains and very often jaw pains. More, on the right side. Those pains have started in the train, when I went to the Secondary school. Today I am afraid of the wind, draft, rain and changing weather to the worse. I must say that dry weather is much better than wet air. Later (1992) have started pains on the right side of the neck. The pains are starting behind the right ear and spread on to the eyes and down to the scapula, shoulder joint and upper arm.

 

I have 23 years old diagnoses about sinusitis and rhinitis:

Sinusitis maxill. chr. cath.

Rhinitis chr. hypertr. et sicca anter.

There is no problem with breathing, but with looking. I have always eyes pains: feel pressure from cheek bones as also eyebrow bones. My face looks puffy. There is no mucus but air in the sinus holes and at the same time I have air in digestion tract.

 

In 20 years of searching the cause, doctors have found:

1. Hypotireosis (1989 - 2005 I was told, I was born with small thyroid)

2. Enthesopatia levator scapula (1998 - Orthopaedist)

3. Trigeminal neuralgia (atypical - 1994, by ENT doctor and 2001, by Neurologist)

4. Occipital neuralgia (1998 - in the SPA)

5. Suprascapular neuralgia (1996 - Orthopaedist)

6. Benign cysts on the liver (1998)

7. Cerebral atrophy (head MRI - since 2001)

8. Haller's cell in the right sinus hole (sinus CT - 2004)

9. 3 cm areal sclerosis on the Occipital bone (head CT - 2002)

10. Impingement subakromialis dex on the right arm. (x-rays - 2008)

      11. Spondylartrosis on the C2/C3 and C5/C6 (since 1996, the very last is neck MRI, 2008)

12. Lesion on the bottom of the skull.

 

What is very strange: many years ago in abroad Neurologist gave me just one injection in the right neck muscle and all pains were over. There was no more big pressure into eyes and any more eyes and face pains. I have got the answer from abroad that might be blockade of Ganglion Stellatum. I had that here, 1994 but didn't feel much better. I don't remember in what the Neurologist gave me injection. Also here Neurologists don’t give blockades but only Anaesthesiologists and Orthopaedists, but their injections don’t help.

Until now only pills with hydrochloride did help me. They make muscles softer and after that I have to go very often to the toilette because of urine. I take those pills only in the evening. During the day I have (from abroad) Ephedrine hydrochloride pills for nose mucus decongestion. They help less and less. A little bit did help acupuncture in the neck muscle and all around the head.

 

All that didn’t bring me the cause of my pains!

 

Who can give me some advice, please?

Hi Skeye,

 

Thank you for welcome.

 

I know that the neck is very sensitive area to give injections. I wouldn't give it to everybody. Maybe Neurologist was better than

Anaesthesiologist here: it was in Pain centre here, where I have got the injection and then went to the Orthopaedic Clinic for one night.

 

about Ganglion Stellatum: it goes direct bellow eyes balls. I have this Ganglion in my book notice and always look: maybe that could be the right thing, because is responsible for circulation in the face (or nose mucus membrane - no more sure).

 

1998-99 I was visiting Russian Neurologist, Chiropractor. He told me: the neck muscle is pressing on the nerve (it could be C2 - Sinusitis). Nerve is going into Sinusitis and from Sinusitis I have ATN. He did help me twice 6 months, but he went away, 1999.

 

Levator scapula (sorry, I can't give some attachments here) is the muscle from C1-C4. There between is C2 and C3.

 

Those Russian doctors, Chiropractors have looked into my IRIS (eye) and all 10 fingers: they told me, it is from the liver. When I look Liver Meridian: it could be true.

 

It is also very strange, that after eating (during the day) I get eyes, jaw and cheekbone pains. At the same time I am very sleepy.

I can’t believe what all happens to me.

 

Regards,

Bobbie

 

Hi Dani,
I live in a small country and have nobody more to visit. I doubt also that there is a person like me, with such a pains.
My pains look like is very easy to help, but I am at the moment living in the wrong country and wrong place.

Regards to you,
B.

Bobbie, I want to welcome you to the forum. I do think if you stick around, you will enjoy it here. It has been wonderful to me. It is filled with the most caring,understanding,encourageing people you have ever met.

You mentioned you are from a small country. Do you mind my asking where you are from? You don't have to answer that if it makes you uncomfortable. It doesn't matter where you are from, we are glad you came to visit us here. I was just curious, that's all. I am sorry if my asking offends you. It certainly wasn't meant to do so.

I do not know much about the pain you are speaking about. I am sure there are others with the same or similar condition. I do hope that you can see another doctor or maybe going to a teaching hosp. can help you. Are you in pain management to help you control the pain somewhat?

Sorry I have been no help at all. I mainly wanted to welcome you to this forum and to let you know that I do care. I hope you have a low pain day very soon. I also hope that you can get a proper diagnosis and treatment that will help you out.
