can working in a steelmill cause optical neuritis be?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Unless you have contact with toxic solvents, or in contact with drugs which cause arteritis or vasculitis, it is most likely that your work has nothing to do with the eye issue, and other causes should be considered.  Have a thorough evaluation with first an ophthalmologist and later a neurologist.  If an MRI of brain shows additional lesions, this may be early ms.

See below: Neuritis means inflammation of a nerve, but we would not usually describe lumbosacral nerve problems by that term.  Might instead use radiculitis or radiculopathy.  Not sure of what context this was introduced, but perhaps this refers to pain radiating from your spine down a leg.  If occurring after back surgery, perhaps post-op scarring or arachnoiditis.
