Problems on R side of body only.........

[2johndeereboys]

I am a 39 y/o female who has been experiencing blurred vision but it's in my R eye only.....it comes on suddenly as leaves within a minute or two......I have no pain or discharge in that eye......I have noticed no halos or any problems with my vision before or after the blurry vision starts.

I recently got DX'd with bursitis in my R hip and my R heel has been tingling & going numb. This too comes on suddenly and only lasts for a few minutes......It seems to me that something is going on with the R side of my body!!! I have an appt on Sept 18th with an Orthopedic Dr to try to hep me with my bursitis but I am not sure if I need to see the Orthopedic Dr, my PCP or a Ophthalmologist?!?!?!?

I am Bipolar & I take meds to control it. they include: Abilify, Zoloft & Topamax......I have been on this cocktail for over a year & a half now and have not had any of them increased for the last 4 or 5 months.....

I don't really have a question.....I just would like to know what could possibly be going on???? this really has me concerned & quite frankly confused as heck!!!

I thank you in advance if anyone responds to this!!!

Hi!
If you also have urinary tract infection or suffered from it in recent past, then you could be suffering from to Reiter’s syndrome or reactive arthritis, which includes a triad of arthritis, uveitis (the eye symptoms you have) and genitourinary infection. You can discuss this possibility with your ortho specialist. Also, get your urine tested and vaginal swab tested meanwhile.
Blurred vision can be due to glaucoma, refractive errors (near or far sightedness), diabetes, retinal detachment, optic stroke, infection or injury to eye, migraines, floaters, brain tumors, temporal arteritis or due to bleeding into the eye. So consult an ophthalmologist as soon as you can. Take care!
