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?:confused:

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:
