Eye pain, ear pain

GOOD News -- 3rd shot last night, my BFF did it for me and I did not feel it.
BAD News -- Injection site hurt late in the night.  But probably because I was moving around too much.  This morning (and the day before the shot too actually) I had eye pain & pressure.  I will see if I can get in to see my eye doc soon to check the pressure.  Want to make sure it is not a Thyroid issue or blood pressure issue.  Ear pain also flared up again today, so I guess I need to see an ENT doc.  Headachy from the meds for ear pain/vertigo.  Struggled with Vertigo since last Sunday but was feeling much better Friday.  So it concerns me that I am on the verge of it again.

Anybody else struggling with these, please chime in.  Thank you.

I had some pain behind the eyes. It since went away. Just a day or so. Them an impacted wisdom tooth that never bothers me flared up. A day or two and it's feeling better. Ear pressure the other day,like when on an airplane, but that happened once just before I started treatment and it went away. Of course tell your doctor, but I find this things flare and then seem to calm down.
Headaches always, especially when it's raining, but that was before treatment too. No veritgo......Yet anyway....Put and Ice pack on your injection site right after you inject and it may stop the bruising and the pain. You're 3rd shot, you'll find ways to deal with different things that come up.. Good luck.

Nope, I didn't hear anything.  Just a weird 'twitching' inside my ear.

Thanks for all the tips everyone.  This has me pretty wiped out this weekend, so I'm calling the doc tomorrow.  I appreciate you all!  I think the most difficult thing is determining whether it's related to tx at all, because I don't want dosing affected if it's not.

By the way.......
Eye pain feels like someone hit me in the eye with a baseball bat; I have Iritis in my other eye and this pain is pretty close to that.
Ear pain feels like pressure when descending on a scuba dive or jumping into the deep end of the pool. .......Suezee -- I have felt what you felt, from time to time too.  Sounds like Tinitus, I think.  I get it if I am counting coins, constantly clinking together.

Same here too.  The pressure feels like a sinus issue with pain and pressure around the eyes and ears feeling like youre in an airplane.  I have had it off and on along with a feeling like my nose and throat are irritated.  My doc told me to take claritin.

same hear, my ears have felt pressure a few times in the past several weeks, like I was descending in a plane.  Strange, only lasted a couple of hours each time.   We are putting some serious drugs in our system,  sx will be strange and varied.  But I would def have my eye doctor check eyes again.. just to be safe.

I had some weird ear thing going on yesterday.  Kind of like what a twitching eye feels like, but my ear?

It only lasted a couple of hours.  :)
