Yesterday, another eye injection for AMD...usually these go well, with little to no pain.
But sometimes...like yesterday, my eye gets scratched. Probably by the tool used to hold my lids open for the injection. Then, when the numbing drops given wear off...well, hurts like hell as anybody who has suffered an eye scratch knows.

I hate pain pills. So, crazy as it sounds, I plugged into my ipod set to shuffle play...for hours while leaning back in my recliner, eyes closed. Somehow, this seems to dull the pain a bit. at least gives me something distracting from the pain.

Today, glad that eyes heal quickly from a scratch...only a dull ache remains.

So, a weird non narcotic pain management suggestion for you...try it sometime. No harm, might help.
