What Causes Severe Pain Above The Left Eye?
Hello, My ENT DR. wants me to see a Nuerologist.. I have had a lot of pain above my left eye only. My ENT has treated me for Sinusitis. However, after a course of Prednisone, and Clarithromycin, I felt better for a couple of days. My Dr. thinks I have Supra Orbital Neuroligia. I need something for medicine, that will stop the more than moderate pain above my eye. I can t get an appointment with a Neurologist for almost a month.. Any suggestions?

Hello,
You can get a CT scan of PNS( Para nasal sinuses) to rule out chronic sinusitis. Once the sinusitis has been ruled out you can consult a neurologist to look for other possible causes like neuralgia even though the chances are low.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
