Double eye infection that will not go away and doctors cant determine cause

Posted , 1 user is following.

hi, I recently had an eye injury. I had a metal shaving lodge in my left eye and it was removed in the ER with a burr. doc gave me antibiotic drops for 7 days. A week later my eye began to hurt and sting. within 3 days I was in a lot of pain and lost some eyesight.

doctor gave me different drops with a steroid. but it continued to get worse. so after a week of infection there was zero improvement with 2 different antibiotic drops. So I was taken off of antibiotics and given a regular steroid drop. after a day and a half it began to help

now 10 days of infection in the left eye and it is developing in my right eye.

I have developed other symptoms:

sore throat

sinus burning

achey muscles

sharp pains in my joints

lethargy

ear pain

ear fluttering sounds when there are loud noises

ear pressure

I have been handed off from doctor to doctor and they can figure out what is going on. I am deep in the red financially as they keep passing me off but give me no answers and charging me anyways.

has anyone had anything like this before?

I am 38 years old, eat healthy, workout regularly. don't drink in excess, don't do drugs
