What Causes A Droopy Eye Lid With Pain In The Eye And Numbness In Hand?
I've been experiencing a droopy eye lid, starts with a pain behind my right eye that then makes my eye sit blurry, then the eyelid starts to droop slightly, my mouth feels like I'm going to drool. I then get a pain in my shoulder and my muscles there are like rocks they are so hard, I get numbness in the arm and a tingly sensation in my shoulder like someone is scratching it. I feel really weak on that side after. This comes and goes, can be one day or two weeks. I'm 33 year old female

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having intermittent droopy eye lid associated with numbness weakness of muscles of shoulders...
All these symptoms point towards diseases of neuromuscular junction like Myasthenia gravis.
Hence I advice you to consult your physician for examination to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
