Good afternoon everyone! Quick question, has anyone with a inflamitory arthritis suffered from eye pain?

Yesterday and today i've had like a stabbing feeling in my eye like theres something in it? :?

Anyone else had this?

    Hi Karen,

    Yes I get that every so often and it's flipping horrid. You have my sympathy.

    I also get pain when moving eyes and was told that illnesses which can attack the muscles also can affect muscles around eyes. Im seeing and ophthalmologist regarding my eye problems.

    Have you seen an optician or spoken to your GP?

    Hope you get answers and keep us posted.

    hi Karen, yes I get it in one eye all the time. I use viscotears from the doc but hycosan is good too It's horrible but have got used to it now and it seems worse when I am tired.

    Thank you Eve and Sally - I was getting a bit worried about it and its difficult yo know if all these other sysmptoms are connected or if its something else altogether! I have an appointment with my GP on Thursday to discuss the letter from my Rheumatologist so i'll mention the eye thing to him then. I kept thinking i had something in my eye, but after lots of eye baths :roll: and the way the pain sort of comes and goes i started to wonder.... as you do.... :)

    Thanks again

    I get similar and feeling of eyeball being squashed in a vice, this is how migraines manifest themselves in my case, darkened room, cold gel packs and meds are the only option, trouble is I end up on so many pills I rattle!!

    hope you get some answers Karen. I saw my own optician and then a specialist when I was in hospital. I expect your gp will refer you on!
