A) i have cancer

B) my eye muscles are too weak

Answer 1

You may have an inflammatory event going on.  Either in the eye itself or in the optic nerve.  Generally, it's one eye at a time, though not always.  This is generally what causes eye pain short of frank injury.  Generally anti-inflammatory eye drops are prescribed.  There again, it depends on the location of the problem within the eye and the cause.  I'm curious to see what the result is....doubtful that it's cancer....

Answer 2

Sounds like cancer to me. And I am a doctor.

Answer 3

ahh this probably won't help but...

1. i'm not really sure what it could be. i'm pretty sure its not cancer, because other parts would hurt alsoo.

2. i highly reccomend you go to the nighttime pediatrics or hospital because if its really bad, it could turn worse. you never know....

but if you can't, try to just rest. no tv, no computer. it could just be severe eye strain.

feeell better !~

Answer 4

now, i doubt you have cancer because it seems something else would have happened (but I am not a doctor at all). And if your eye muscles were weak I am pretty sure you would have noticed something earlier.

The only reason I am responding to this is because earlier this year my eyes suddenly started KILLING me and it hurt so badly. After about 5 days it went away. I figured it came from my typhoid shot that I got earlier that week, so my guess is to see if anything different has happened recently in your life. Did you do anything, take any new medicines or anything?

Answer 5

I don't know what it is (sorry), but i'd seriously suggest going to the hospital or nighttime pediatrics or something right away if you are in horrible pain. Think of it this way: if you're in horrible pain, there could be horrible damage. Unless the pain's not too bad, please go to the doctor. I (nor anyone else) wants you to be in bad pain. I really really hope you feel better.
