Pain After Injections

I suffer immensely post-injection in both eyes. The doctor thinks it's the Betadine.

Taking pain medication

I take prescribed pain pills (yes, plural), as it is that painful, and then I take a Xanax prescribed by my general practitioner who I have been with for 24 years. He knows when I tell him, I NEED this medication, or I am a crazy woman.

I hate the pain I suffer, but I also like to see!

Anxiety over injections

After about 3 or 4 hours, the pain subsides, or I fall asleep. I am scheduled tomorrow for injections and already having anxiety.
