Ok so... I have a question for our nurse/medical field posters.

Um. Aside from coverup and ice... what can you do for a BAD black eye?

And... other than being sore my eyeball looks ok.. is it necessary to go to the Dr to have it looked at? I would REALLY like to avoid that.

Thanks

Icing and coverup is about the best remedy. . .there really are no quick fixes. . .if your eye still hurts in a couple weeks, then I would go to the doc and check it out. . .

Thanks, Darcy!! So I have a couple of weeks of being "ok"?

My eyeball THROBS but it's not bloodshot or anything. I think it's just the swelling that is making it hurt. There are a couple little marks on my eyeball under the lid but.. again.. nothing disgusting.

I emailed my moma nd told her about it and she really wants me to go to the Dr. I told her my coworker who is a wrestler said it should be ok.. now I'll tell her my nurse friend said that

It's NASTY. My forehead has a big ouchie too.

Ok what did I miss here.....???? How , what , when where...and sorry do not dispense medical advice....lol...but as a friend another really really weird suggestion if it is JUST a black eye, as in a cosmetic thing only and no damage to eyeball etc...Now do not laugh at my suggestion....Back in my young years...( a long long time ago in a land far away...but yes it did exist) I have been known to have to coverup and get rid of a hickey.....and what do you think the trick to that is???? Tooth paste...as in the minty white thick stuff...I do not know the chemical compounds that do it but that is the quickest way for getting rid of that and I am thinking it might work on a black eye..... (seriously)

 

[CinRell]

Mint toothpaste will take away the coloring? But that might sting my lookball.

I hope there's no damage. it hurts like mad but the ball looks "ok" aside from a little bit of oddness under the lid. It feels like I have a headache in my lookball but I think that's just from being whapped.

Ok I'll put toothpaste in my eye. And then will remind you it's your fault when I'm screaming and writing in pain, mmmk?

love you ang (hugs).. and loved that email! I passed it along. Thanks!

You're welcome... always happy to help (or stick my nose in..)

I think the warning labels written on products manufactured in say, Japan, are hilarious... the English is always way off.

When I had my eye surgery, the first 10 days I had to use ice packs after that he wanted me to use warm compresses. Not sure if would work in your case, but you can always give it a try if the swelling doesn't go down in 10 days. My black eye was gone within two weeks, but it took at least 3 weeks before the swelling was completely gone.

Look.. #1... that's not me with the spoons. So it's not me doing it wrong. Tho I still don't "get it" but I don't get much.

#2 there are no warning signs on ceiling fans about lookballs. and that's all I've got to say about that.

....and being the preachers daughter that I am and the fact that the blades on ceiling fans are wooden I might add the side note scripture about removing the beam from your own eye before trying to remove the splinter from your brothers eye...

(sorry, I DO realize how bad that was but I could NOT resist)
