Ear/ trigeminal nerve pain- whats helping me

[mwatto]

Just thought I would share something. I have had bad ear pain for 4 years (how I was diagnosed) it wakes me at night...sometimes behind eye and in jaw. Anyways- nothing helped until I discovered past 4 nights that vicks vaporub on an earbud in ear and massaged under ear and temples completely stopped the pain! I had read it helps for earache as a remedy and tried it. Am amazed how effective it is. However- now reading shouldnt put in ear...ugh. Anyway around ear then shld be fine.

I dont know if its the menthol but it makes a big difference to my sleep re the pain. I am now rubbing it on my knee which twinges at times. But for those with Trigeminal issues it may help.
