You’ve seen the eye doctor. You’ve been told everything looks normal.
 So why does your eye still hurt?

In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, we unpack one of the most frustrating experiences for headache and migraine sufferers—ongoing eye pain with no clear diagnosis.

Using a simple “kinked hose” analogy, we explain why the pain you feel behind your eye is often not coming from your eye at all—and what’s actually driving it.

You’ll learn:

  •  Why eye exams often come back normal despite real pain 
  •  How pain can be referred from the neck, jaw, and shoulders 
  •  Why medications may dull symptoms but don’t fix the root cause 
  •  A clearer, root-cause approach to resolving headaches and migraines 

If you feel stuck, dismissed, or confused about your symptoms, this episode will help you finally make sense of your eye pain—and point you toward real solutions.
