Ear Pain
« on: March 05, 2010, 11:42:50 am »
For a long while now I've been experiencing Earache like pain in my AN affected ear, as bad, if not worse than any childhood earache I ever had. The pain is very sharp and hurts right to the outer surface of my ear...really strange. I started experiencing this pain immediately after Surgery but the pain is more severe and frequent since CK in early January '10.

Anyone else had / having this experience...I'd be curious to know if I'm not alone on this one...do ear drops help?

Thanks!
  ;)

Left-Translab July '09. Cyberknife Jan 2010. In Apr 2017, four more tumors found; three in the brain and one, 7cm long, on my spinal cord; it was surgically removed. It was cancerous, and so are the others. I've been receiving Chemo since June '18, and I'm still in treatment.

Every once in awhile I get a sharp pain in the AN side ear, but it disappears quickly and is usually associated with period of nasal congestion, post nasal drip and a feeling of fullness in that ear  etc... It's rare and goes away when I clear up.

 
1 cm, 6mm, 4mm on Left side. Surgery performed 11/6/2008 by Dr. Kalmon Post and Eric Smouha at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC.
Normal hearing before, 85%-90% now, dizziness when walking or turning head, annoying hissing and high pitched tinnitus on and off, eyes have trouble adjusting to rapid head move

Very infrequently I get the sharp pain in & on my ear too...  never thought it was related to nasal congestion,  but it does seem to happen when I'm congested....
Hope yours is short & sweet like ours doc ! !   Always good thoughts,  Nancy
