I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THAT SINCE I WAS LITTLE. I HAD TO HAVE TUBES IN MY EARS SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FROM ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAD WHEN I WAS A KID. NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED OR NOT. WHO KNOWS! TAMMY.

I get a sharp pain in my right ear followed by throbbing then the burning pain on that side of my head and from my shoulder down to my fingers. It's so frustrating. I swore up and down I was getting ear infections this year, and each time nothing wrong.. My neuro requested I have a hearing test done to establish a baseline and see if I did have any hearing loss, which I didn't. Ask yours if you can have one too.

this is so wild this topic came up, for six months I have had this in my left ear, throbing and or sharp pain. never any infection. It dosnt stay long so I've never said anything to my neuro. last week I was driving home from work and it felt like someone stuck a sharp object in my ear and was stabbing me in the ear, and again didnt last long but was the most painful.

i kept going to the doctor this year compaining that my ears hurt, buzzing and burning but just like alot of the other no infections. i though i was just going nuts.

Glad to know that is not just me going nuts!

Wow. I had no idea that my ears hurting could be connected to this thing! I haven't connected it to any other signs, but I have been in three times in the past few months for ear infection only to turn out that there was none. But man did my ear hurt!

I did contact my neurologist today and they believe that the ear throbbing is related to nerve pain. I was told to increase my neurotin from 2 300/mg at night to 3 300mg at night and see if if the ear throbbing subsides. I was also not to be concerned about hearing loss unless I hear 'ringing' in my ears.
