Amy,

I get the eye pain behind the eye and I've read that ON can cause that. Bear in mind that I'm not a doctor, etc.... I responded to you on the other forum as well. In my case, my pain doctor felt that issues with my cervicals were causing the neck muscles to spasm and inflaming the occipital nerves so it seems like any type of spine issues can cause or influence it. I don't know anything about neuro opthamologists so I can't help you there. Hopefully some of the others will pop in and share their thoughts and knowledge.

As for the blocks, I've stayed numb through the day, but I imagine it depends on what sort of anesthetic the doctor uses. My doctor also injected steroids and it took awhile for them to kick in. I had the best relief after having two blocks with added steroids. I think they were two or three weeks apart, if memory serves me right.
