Sorry to hear about that man, that really sucks. Find out if the doctor botched the eye removal in the first place because there are a lot of nerves he could have hit with his poking a prodding around in there.

So aint no telling whats going on

BF, are you familiar with the concept of phantom pain? It is very common among amputees where they feel horrible pain in the arm (or whatever) that was amputated. Technically your eye was "amputated" when it was removed and phantom pain is very common and very real under such circumstances. Here is a link:

Hey blunt, I have a question for you. If you don't mind my asking? Did you suffer from floaters at all before your eye was taken out? Was there any kind of retinal detachment? Lastly, how does your remaining eye feel?

I suffer from floaters in both my eyes and even though they are not supposed to cause any pain they do. They make my head sear with pain all the way from the back of my eye to the base of my neck. Out of 24 hours I think they cause the flair ups maybe 18 hours spaced throughout the day.

Gabapentini noticed this when i looked at that site rehab. I waz precribed that be4 and i wouldnt recommend that sh!t to ANY1. It wasnt that it fucks u up like vicoden or other norcotics.But your personilty changes. Angry more jus wasnt myself at all. And they expected me to take it for 3 months in order to see a change. And i did see a change the way i acted, and i didnt like it.i stop after a month.

Yup i had to have my retinal reatached 2 times, a cataract removed 3 times, and a cornea transplant.It didnt reject the transplant but nothing happen, like it waz a jus a waste of time. but i know it did some good even tho i couldnt tell. with the retina they had put some oil stuff to keep it atached the 1st time, it leaked out and like a lil tiny ballon inside my eye the 2nd time so basicly they tried to save my eye till i waz 18 and not covered by my father's insurience. I meet wit a guy from the lions club im not sure if any1 have 1 in there city but they paid for my last surgery the removeal. Floaters, im not sure what u mean by that can u explain more.

Hey Blunt, there are some research studies going on (non drug) using a neuro stimulator to relieve chronic phantom pain. There are studies underway at University of Illionois and Rush Presbyterian (Chicago) that you might qualify for. Here is a link to one of the studies:

Study patients get all of their treatment for free (payed for by medical Research grants). Here are some numbers if you want to investigate:

Rush: 888-352-7874

U of Illinois: 800-597-5970, ask for the Research dept.

Best of luck. I hope this helps you.
