Any other BPPV sufferers out there find they have had any earaches after the Epley? I had the Epley in Feb and had some on and off ear pain afterwards ... when I asked my Dr., he said that sometimes the crystals can cause damage and it just takes time to heal. He diagnosed me with BPPV/VN.
During my Physical Therapy last week, some crystals moved and my PT had to do another Epley. The next day I had some pains in my ear (not terrible, but just noticeable littls "zaps" here and there.) When I told my PT about it, she seemed surprised and said that means that something else is going on besides the BPPV ... i.e., VN or Labs.
Yesterday I had an earache off and on and still a little today .... The pain is not bad, just noticeable. Also, my ear feels kind of like it's warm (not to the touch, but inside my ear ... ?). I can't remember if this is similar to after my first Epley or not ... anyone else have any of this stuff?? Also, I live in FL and Tropical Storm/Depression Barry has been passing thru, so I don't know if maybe the pressure changes are affecting it?
