Hello,
My pain specialist whi has been treating this disease for a couple of deades believes that RSD in the eyes is actually very rare but in fact the eyes are reacting usually to the medications we are often forced to take .
This does not mean that it not the case for your mum but she really needs a second, third or fourth opinion to get her problem treated.
I wonder what type of doctor diagnosed "arthritis" of the eyeThere are some auto immune diseases that cause ocular symptoms but in the most part these are most unusual and also usually caused by the drugs used to treat the problem.
There are many diseases of the eye which can lead to the symptoms of burning, pain , dry eye, pink eye etc but these all need immediate medications to prevent further and permanent damage.
She needs an opthalmic evaluation now, not in 2 weeks. Is there anyway you can bring the appointment closer so as to eliminate al possibilites and commence treatment if necessary?
You sound to be a very caring daughter, your mum is very lucky.
Lots of luck
Tayla
