I have had severe ear pain in my left ear for over 20 years. I have an attack about every other month and it lasts for 2 days. I notice that when there is a change in the barometric pressure before it rains, I will have an episode. If I am out in the wind on a cold day, I will have an episode. I gone to many doctors and dentists. I even had tubes in my ears. My hearing is fine. There is no fluid in my ear. Nothing has helped. The last specialist I saw is convinced that I have TMJ. My jaw pops when I open my mouth. And, if I press around the bottom of my left ear it crackles. The doctor told me to take Motrin (800 milligrams). The pain is almost unbearable. Motrin doesn't touch it. Last week when I was hurting, I put BioFreeze on my neck and the area around the joint. It helped some. I have come to the conclusion that it is something that I am going to have to live with. But, I am totally wiped out every time it occurs. My husband tells me that he is sure there is some doctor some where that knows how to treat me. To date, I haven't found him or her.
