I'm still tense, been this way for over 2 years now:eek: I still have that awful sensation that my ET is blocked, can't pop my ears, have deep inner ear pain. Has anyone had this figured out by their DDS or MD. I saw an ENT, an unsympathetic one who told me they are a surgical clinic and there is nothing wrong with me. I have a conservative dentist, gave up on him, he thought giving me a RX for 20 flexerill was bigtime:rolleyes:

Jeese, talk a walk and find someone more capable of diagnosing/treating your case. Are there any other specialists in your region that you can try out?

Jeese, talk a walk?? :rolleyes:
Geeze, if you didn't have anything nice to add, maybe your fingers shouldn't have taken a walk? Next?

Sorry, I didn't mean for this to sound mean. I meant to be blunt and say move on from doctors who aren't helping you. Take initiative.

I can only see military doctors, it's like a cattle call, we all line up, have 15 seconds to tell them what is ailing us then we get a RX for Motrin and are moved along out the door. Or that is what it seems like anyway. Which is why I haven't been back because they don't know and just shrug, I thought maybe someone else has had some luck and could say this is what I told my doctor and this is what the doctor did for me.

Sounds awful. I wouldn't accept that. You have an unresolved, untreated medical issue. Request a specialist, write letters, there must be some route to get decent care, even in the military.
I fought my insurance company to get decent care. It took 100+ phone calls, politics, letters, all kinds of tricks to get things accomplished.
