Rsd Affecting the Ear Posted: 10-26-05 18:05pm
Hi, I have had an ear condition for 23
years. So far it has been undiagnosed.
However, my last trip to the er did give
me a bit of hope. He suggested that it
could be rsd. My ear swells, turns red
hot, extremely painful and shoots a pain
down my neck. It's rather odd. Normally
it would, on average, flare up 1 or 2
times a month and last about 12 hours. It
was hard but I could deal with it. 10
weeks ago I developed an inner and outer
ear infection which set this off like
never before. It doesnt go away now. I
can get the swelling and heat out of it
but the pain remains.I've seen a dozen
ent's and at least 50 doctors through the
years. I have an appointment at a top
university in nov. Although it's only a
couple of weeks away, it feels like a
year. I would like to know if anyone has
ever heard of a case of rsd affecting the
ear? I appreciate the input. Thank you.
