Shooting ear pain
Hi allYesterday I had a dreadful pain right at the top of my left cheekbone next to my ear and today that pain has gone.
However, today I keep getting a horrible, very painful shooting pain through my left ear.
I am going to ring the doctors and try get an appointment in the morning, which is, I might add, very difficult these days but I thought I would just ask here what you think as obviously I can't ring until the morning.
Do you think it might be connected and the pain has moved from the cheekboneinto the ear? I wonder if it is a ear infection but would it start in my cheekbone? It seems a bit odd to do that.
I've taken an aspirin as one someone I know has told me it could be a bloodclot!! Heck, I hope not.
Thanks in advance for an input.

Swimfeeder had an awful infection in his ear and it is still giving him problems.... so tell your doctor that you think it is a problem that needs urgent attention. Ear infections can do a lot a damage if not treated quickly ( so if you have to, tell them that the pain is preventing you from sleeping). I know it is a fib , but others do that to get seen urgently.

Re: Shooting ear pain
I had something that sounds very similar to that, and recently.I think it was the hot weather we had here, it stressed me out a huge amount and I THINK.....I was grinding my teeth in my sleep
This caused pain in and around my left ear and also affected the hinge joint of my jaw. I didn't go to the docs with it as it's now gone.

Re: Shooting ear pain
HiLQ, you need to get it sorted as soon as possible, even make an appointment to see the practice nurse if Doctor is not available..
My Doctor took ages to sort mine out and I ended up with Malignant Otitis Externa
You really do not want that,

I am not diabetic.
It has got into my bones and you end up with people drilling holes in your head.
