Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have had for
a long time a stabbing pain in my right
ear that comes and goes. I have seen all
kinds of doctors and none of them has
found what is wrong. It happens at night
if I lay on my right side. It also happens
if I am out in a cool breeze. I have had
tubes inserted twice to no avail. I take
flexeril to sleep at night quite a lot. I
also have migraines and once in a while
when I have a ear ache and take an Imitrex
the ear pain goes away also. The dentist
says I do not have TMJ. I'm wondering if
there is a doctor out there somewhere who
can diagnose my problem. Warm compresses
or a heating pad do not help much if at
all. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Flexeril can cause 'head pressure' in high
doses. Maybe try lowering your dose of it
to see if that helps relieve some of the
pain.
That's all I know though. Good luck with
the rest.
