Hello ~
I was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma last spring and had the Gamma Knife Radiation at the end of summer. Everything went fine and has been fine since, except for the last few weeks. It stated about three weeks ago, the neuroma was on my left side and for the past few weeks I have been getting slight pains behind my ear. It's a dull pain, but constantly there. I went to my regular doc. yesterday and they said it could possible be a strained muscle, since my whole arm and muscle were sore. But it has been pretty painful today and I have taken motrin and the pain hasn't stopped. I did originally complain to my neurosurgeon that I would get pains there every once in a while and he said it was just coincidence. Has anyone had this happend to them or any type of pain there ? Just looking for a little advice.
