My 12 y/o neice has been hospitalized due to an extreme pain in her upper body probably caused by arthritis (she has beed already diagnosed with Arthritis but we're not 100% sure if this new pain is related to her condition). The pain does not go away and all of the sudden her eyes have crossed and she now has double vision. She was given morphine for the extreme pain. Can the crossed eyes be a side effect of the pain killer? Or is it possible that the pain and the crossed eyes are symptoms of something else?

Hi Anonymous,
April 19, 2011 - 6:39amThank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. In response to your question, here is some information about Strabismus (crossed eyes) from EmpowHER's Encyclopedia pages. I hope it provides some insight for you and your family. I hate to hear when children are having medical problems. My thoughts are with your family.
Please come back and let us know how your niece is doing.
