It may well be how you experience migraine. I would suggest checking with your GP as soon as possible for their opinion.

Frequently get pain around my left eye, and sometimes inside it. Have had my eyes checked out many times, and it's always migraine. An important bit of the trigeminal nerve - one of the major nerves for the head and face which plays up during migraine and causes a lot of pain - sits close to the eye, near the temple.

I've had it on & off here over the weekend, brought on twisting my neck whilst ironing. Some co-codamol helped (it's the stuff that's in migraleve), and a warm compress over the painful bit.

I would get yourself checked by a GP though.

I get eye pain too usually left side which seems to be quite common. I didn't know there was a trigeminal nerve connection. Can do without that additional pain. I sometimes try paracetamol and pseudo ephedrine first in case it's a sinus headache but if it doesn't work I'm a bit stuck as if its a migraine only zomig will shift it but should I be taking something to reduce the blood vessel swelling soon after taking something which (I think) works in an opposite way? Or am I just hopelessly confused? One thing I am sure of is that if a triptan "cures" the pain then it was a migraine!

Best of luck
