cannot open eye

[sallyanne362]

l am 52 years old and for some months now l found that when l went to the toilet at night l could only open my right eye  and then in the morning it was ok but now it gets  dry and tired at night and l feel it closing just as l go to sleep. For the past 3and half years l have had major stress. My naturopath saids that l have a pinched nerve in the back of my eye and that it was coming from my neck and also my front tooth root as l had not had it removed when my tooth broke off a year ago. so had my root taken out. Suggested bowen therapy and cranialosteopath.  and am also going to eye specialist soon. Have also in the past have severe sinus problems and now also have problem with my right ear. Glad to know others have this  problem. will let you know how l go.

you said that this in not caused by a pinched nerve in my back. I stated that the pinched nerve was at the back of my eye but was caused by problems in my neck. so do you still think the same.

Please see an ophthalmologist.  This is not caused by a pinched nerve in the back of your neck.
