Default Droopy eyelid from nerve block
Hi my name is Kathy and 5 weeks ago i had rotator cuff surgery. they told me i would have a droopy eyelid until the neve block wore off. going into week 6 it is still droopy. getting the run around from surgeon and anistigiologist, they both say i need to see a nero but no one will refer me. Is it normal to have it for this long and what can they do to fix it?

Hi, and welcome to the community! Sorry you're going through all that. Have you spoken to your PCP about the surgeon's and anesthesiologist's recommendation of seeing a neuro? Perhaps the PCP would refer you.

Here are a couple of links to forums where you'll find some postings about nerve blocks:
