Problems after anesthesia

by huggiebear, Dec 15, 2007 10:25AM
I had a total hysterectomy on November 5th.  That was a Monday, I returned home on Thursday.  Shortly after that, I began having some odd headaches.  I have a history of migraines, but this was totally different than anything I've had before.  The headache seemed centered around my eyeballs (mainly the left, but occasionally the right)).  I had these headaches almost everyday for a few weeks.  It was very disconcerting, felt like I wanted to just pull the eyeball out to make the pain go away.  Now it has been almost six weeks since surgery.  The headaches have subsided, but having lingering problems with left eye.  The eyelid is very droopy (looks really weird), vision seems slightly fuzzy and white of eye (particularly outer edge) is totally red and bloodshot.  The eye just feels seriously messed up.  I asked doctor about headaches and was told that it was probably caused by the anesthesia and should stop soon.  The headache issue has gotten much better, but I am now very concerned about health of my left eye.  My questions are how concerned should I be and will this resolve on its own or should I see a doctor?
