Default eye twiching & right arm post acdf ??
Since acdf 7-2010 I always had right arm twiching in bicep --but now my right eye --upper lid is always twiching over 2 weeks ---could this be from the predisone I was on earlier this summer or neck related ?? I just find it odd all my twiching seems to be on the right. My shoulder problem from c5 nerve is on the right ---wondering if its all realated but the eye thing is new and starting to bother me because is non-stop. I have appt with eye dr friday . Has anyone had problems with eyes after acdf ??

I kinda doubt the eye twitching is related. Many people have this, and it's really annoying. He may give you some eye drops to make it subside.

I could be wrong tho. I suppose it could be related, but I KIND of doubt it. Let us know what he says, okay? I'd be interested, since I used to be an Optician. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee

Hi Lee, I will let u know (thanks) -- its annoying as heck because its non-stop . I think in the back of my mind all this nerve jumping is driving me a bit nuts..My father has M.S not trying to go there-- I know its a streach--- but its been in my thoughts. I think because every time is the past I started to get symptoms of something like my cancer only 4% get this type or 10% of population will need neck fusion ....I always fall in the category (lol). Thanks for responding !!

Lee, to be honest went to eye DR -- he did a extensive tests took like 1 hr said my eyee looked healthy but right eye is crazy twiching and left eye is too --just not as frequent ---he said its can last weeks or even months ---who knows-- but still annoying me like crazy. Seems no easy or quick cure. ...at least I know the eye sight is good. The meds to help are not worth the side effects and may not even resolve it. He said his lasted 7 months when he was in medical school. Lets hope thats not my case.
