Any experience with orbital edema?
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.
