I forgot to mention in the above that I have pretty bad osteoarthritis in my spine - complete spine: cervical, thoracic, & lumbar. Just wondering if that might be the cause of my ON?

Also since having the nerve block last Wednesday (one week ago) I'm now having pain behind my left eye. Not the shocking type pain that I was having in the back left side of my head but just wondering if this is related?

I have an appointment with a neurological opthlamologist (sp?) next week. Do they deal with ON?

Sorry for all the questions. I just can't find a lot about this on the net . . . . mostly I can't seem to find others that are dealing with this.

Thanks
Amy
