The scleritis in my right eye was improving after my rtx infusions in December, but the last week or so, my lacrimal duct has been blocked and a bit painful. I woke up yesterday and the whole right side of my face is swollen and hurts like crazy. The edema is worse under my eye - today, it is so swollen, my eye won't open.

My local optometrist took pictures and sent them to Dr. Rosenbaum - Dr. R wants me to see an orbital specialist. His secretary called this morning to help me schedule that, but the first available appointment is on the 25th. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but this has had me in tears a few times over the last 48 hours

Anybody had any experience with this? I don't know if there is anything I can do here at home for the next 10 days to help it.
