Anyone experience left head pressure pain with left eye pressure pain? I have the pressure so bad in my left eye the I can barely open my eye lid & my vision is completely blurry in my eye left eye. Anyone experience anything similar? Was it a relapse for you? Lots of hugs & much love to you all as always ❤️

It may or may not be Trigeminal Neuralgia. I had to have 3 Rhizotomies to alliviate the pain cuz all medication would not work for me. Do you get any numbness? TN usually affects the side of your face, lip, ear and eye with numbness first and then the dreaded pain! Optic Neuritis sounds more likely but then again I had no pain with mine just total blindness in both eyes at the same time

I have "Trigeminal Neurologia" type pain on the left side of my face and have had it for 17 years. I've been on several drug cocktails over the years. It's known as the worst pain know to man. Right now I take Hydromorphine and Baclofen as well as Ampyra that has really helped my walking

Sounds like optic neuritis. Usually indicative of a flare up. Have had it and it's awful. Anti migraine medications helped. Caffeine may too

Thank you so much @A MyMSTeam Member I figured it was a flare up since I have had weakness issues & other issues.
