Suggest Treatment For Eye Pain And Disc Herniations After Rotator Cuff Repair

Since I hurt my neck and right shoulder almost 4yrs ago I have had many problems. I have a metal plate on c5/6, I have had rotator cuff repair and I have 2 disc herniations at c3/4 and c4/5.I have had several things happen since then and don t know what might cause them. The right side of my face/hairline/ear...feels like I have carpet burn. Even my eye hurts. I have worked in the medical profession for quite a few years and I believe it has something to do with the trigeminal nerve. This is just s guess but I have a lot of the symptoms. Just looking for more insight.

Hi,

I do not think it to be trigeminal neuralgia. Rather, it seems to be at the level of cervical vertebrae.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
