I’ll give one that I’m experiencing now. After injections I was nearly blind, diagnosed and treated for pressure increases in both eyes. After five months of prednisone drops off and on, I still can’t read or drive well.

@rwagers What did your doctors say about your eyes? The optic nerves are on the underside of the brain and not part of the spine. Perhaps this is coincidental and unrelated. Are you consulting an ophthalmologist?
