It feels like the back of my left eye and sometimes the top of it is like stinging or it feels as it it's being stabbed. It started last night it suddenly started hurting after I had dinner with several family members at a restaurant. After I came back an about an hour later it started to hurt. So I went to bed thinking it'll feel better this morning. But it began to hurt again. My left eye is slightly bloodshot, if you look closely.
I'm not expert at this but it's painful. It hurts more if I keep it open.

Hi hon! It sounds like you have an eyelash either embedded in your eyelid or scratched your cornea! Also sometimes this can be the first signs of pink eye - a contagious eye infection - but that isn't just "slightly bloodshot" It's a MESS!! So I would advise getting an eye rinse - with an eye cup - from your local pharmacy and give your eye a good flushing! IF that helps, then that's what it was! IF it helps, but comes back almost instantly, you will need to have it looked at by your doctor, as if something is stuck in your eyelid and is continuall scratching your cornea, that can lead to major infection! Let me know how you make out OK? Good luck and health!
