I had my tonsils out 11 days ago. With the exception of a few stragler scabs, my throat feels great. However I am in extreme pain because of my ears. I'm worried because the pain is really only in one ear. Whenever I drink anything, it feels like someone is sticking needles into my ear canal. It's a very sharp pain. I usually sleep on my side and I find I can't sleep on the ear anymore. It hurts like nothing else. After about 5 minutes it feels like I have the worst ear infection I've ever had. When I breathe it feels like the air is getting to my ear, like I'm breathing through my ear (odd, I know). I'm really upset, last night I didn't fall asleep until 3 am and that was only because I broke down and took some pain medication. Has anyone had this? I have my post-op tomorrow. I alos should mention I've had these complaints since I've had the surgery and nothing is really new.
