Hi Kris,

Don't worry about posting "a novel" we all do it, or at least most of us do, and this stuff can be quite complex. This is not the average forum with persnickity people on it - we all care quite a bit about each other and newbies too.

Anywho, I had pain behind my eye and it lead to me being diagnosed with an increase of intracranial pressure that had to be relieved with a spinal tap.

An optometrist can help to diagnose this and often can see you before an ophthalmologist has an opening available.

If you can, why don't you see an optometrist and then see an ophthalmologist?

If you do have an increase of intracranial pressure, then you may need to be seen right away ... I don't want to alarm you ... but the way it works is that it's a cyclical process and the pressure *could* just continue to increase and cause lots of problems without relief...

Do you have a neurologist? Have you mentioned the pain behind the eye to your neurologist? I recommend that you do that ASAP too.

I'm sure you went to the hospital after the accident and they determined you didn't have an increase of intracranial pressure that was an emergency situation - but sometimes it takes a while to increase to the point that it can cause symptoms or be seen with medical devices...
