Worsening Pain Near Left Eye/Left Top of Head/Left back of Head

by GLJimmy23, Nov 07, 2009 08:43PM
About 3 months ago I rubbed my left nostril and noticed a strange twinge right above my left eye in the brow. I, like my doctor, thought it may be a sinus infection. During the month of August I went through two different antibiotics with no success as the twinge became more of a pain into the top of the left side of my head. I began to notice it during a bowel movement, sneezing, coughing, laughing and anything that caused pressure. It is very sharp and stabbing. During this time I moved to  a new city and found a new doctor who sent me to an Ear Throat and Nose Specialist. This in now early October. I went through a third round of antibiotics and a CT Sacn showing very minor swelling in my sinuses. Not enough to cause my pain. Over the last two weeks, the pain is more constant above my eye, into the top of my head and now into the back of my head. It is not only triggered by pressure, but left eye movement. It gets really bad using a computer now and driving. Bad enough that I am getting dizzy from it an feeling a bit nautious. If I close my eyes and rest for a bit this feeling goes away, but the pain on a lesser scale remains. I went to an ophthalmologist yesterday. Everything in both eyes looks good. I had an MRI on my head and it came back clean. The ophthalmologist believes I may have some nerve issue. I am heading to a neurologist this week. In the meantime anyone have any idea what the heck is going on with me. Any info is appreciated as I am a bit scared. Thanks.
