I have soreness near the incision but now am experiencing eye pain and blurred vision in the other eye. Is this any kind of side effect from this?

I recently had a an axillary node resection, with a JP drain inserted. After the first week, i started getting joint pain and muscle pain. I am a Breast Cancer survivor. My initial mastectomy was back in June. Yesterday, my drain was removed and within 12 hrs my joint and muscle pains are gone. I thought it was the gabapentin for my neuropathy but I guess not. Jen
