What Causes Twitching Of Eye And Soreness In Right Upper Back?

For several weeks I have had these symptoms on my right side only: droopy eye lid, continuous watering/redness in eye, all day-continuous twitching underneath eye and continuous soreness starting from upper back into the right side of my neck. I m worried that it could be some infection from a recent large and deep cyst I ve been treated for because the pain in my upper back begins where the cyst is. I will be undergoing an operation to remove the cyst in May as it has needed to drain for 2 months and close before the doctor said he could remove it. However, I am an American citizen living in Italy and my medical care has been temporarily put on hold until my residency paperwork is processed. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated because the symptoms I described are not only very bothersome but worry me as well. Thank you

Hello Dear. There could be possibility of some dacrocystitis, that is lacrimal sac infection, which may be or may not be related to your cyst. But in any case, the infection of your eyes has to be treated. Kindly consult an opthalmologist who will evaluate your eyes and may prescribe you antibiotics to control the infection and if required may do a lacrimal sac syringing. This should cure your infection temporarily till you get the cyst excised.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
