Please help, extreme pain.

Been having some extreme pain above and around my left eye, nothing seems to really help it. I was just wondering what it could be, been going on for about a week now.

Sounds like a migrain.  If I have one that last more than three days, I have to go to the dr and get a pain shot or I will be sick with it for up to 10 days.  Make an appt.  and see what the doc says.  If you have never had pain like this before do not ignore it.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The pain in the eye can be due to ocular or ophthalmic migraine, glaucoma, stye, sinusitis, eye infections, eye strain as is seen in refractive errors (if you cannot see properly and need spectacles). Please consult an eye specialist. Take care!

If this happened to me, I would call it a migraine and go back to bed... or make everyone around me as miserable as possible until it stopped.  But I've never had a migraine last for longer than a day, tops.

Is there anything in your eye?  Can you see out of it okay?  Even if there's not a twig sticking out of your pupil, this could be the beginning of a detached retina.  I bet "go to your doctor" isn't a very popular answer around here.  :(
