Hopefully you are under the care of a great rheumatologist. Many of your symptoms can be connected, including the eye pain, by a auto-immune rheumatological disease. Have you to a world famous tertiary referral center like Mayo Clinic?

ACDF is Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion. Since our correspondence I have had another neck surgery, a PCF (posterior cervical fusion). I'd like to apologize for wasting your time. My periodic eye pain seems to be an unfortunate symptom or possibly an unrelated symptom of a systemic issue. I was grasping at straws, hoping my symptoms might indicate a disease or problem I could treat. My symptoms include shingles, dermatitis, disc degeneration, inflammation, periodic eye pain, stiff painful fingers, scoliosis, and a constant overall dull pain. I expected to feel bad as I aged, but I didn't think it would start in my mid 30's! I'm 41 now. Thank you for your time, your attention on these blogs can't be your idea of a good time outside of office hours. :)
