I have a really painful swollen eye, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've never been prone to get sties or eye infections of any kind. It feels like there is a lump right in the middle of my eyeball on my right eye. Obviously think it is under my lid, not on my eyeball. Or at least I hope not, god that's a nasty thought.

Anyway the most annoying thing is I can't see what the problem is, I can't see the lump I can only feel it. I can see the slight swelling in my eye, but the fact that I can feel the lump and not see it is making me more nervous. I've tried turning my eyelid inside out, but unfortunately I was never gifted with that kind of disgusting ability to begin with, trying to learn how with a swollen eye is quite uncomfortable I can assure you. I stared straight at the 12 v LED strip light in the bathroom hoping that the flashing reverberation once I closed my eye would highlight the lump. That was a stupid idea.

I think I'm just freaking out because it's my eyeball that is in pain. And it will probably clear up on it's own in a couple of days. If not, I'll just stop being a ninny and go to the doctors.
