try a warm, or cold compress. one or the other should help in the mean time.

still got another 5 and a half hours....

Call an ambulance . . . . then let the mofos who said they wouldn't help split the bill. Geeez. How much effort does it take to drive someone to the hospital.

Would a taxi cost much? Do you have a neighbor close by who might be able to help? Starfish has the right idea as well . . . maybe ibuprofen or some other pain reliever might take the edge off until you can get there.

yeh i dont even know the neighbors and the EMS is for life threatening situations. nobody gives a fuck it pisses me off.

having had a million and one ear infections, i feel confident that is what's going on with you. any pain reliever will help a little, then something warm...a hot water bottle is great, or a heating pad. if the eardrum bursts you will immediately be free of pain, but still need to see a doctor because the infection won't be gone. i would take you to the dr or the er myself if i could because i know that there is no pain like you're going through, and i've had children and kidney stones! just try to make yourself as comfortable as possible until you can get some help. hugs and puppy kisses....

I agree with Chilvr on the ear infection diagnosis. I will send you my bill LOL. Naw. Seriously, sorry you are sick. I too would transport you to the hospital or doctor if I lived near you. Pain is pain and a feller needn't hurt unnecessarily. Hope you feel better soon. Big hugs of comfort for you my dear.

hmmm. Help yourself?

deleted_user 02/08/2010

heat a small amount of cooking oil in the microwave make sure its not wicked hot the tilt your head and gently pour it into the ear and place a cotton ball in after to keep it in it will eliviate the pain

starfish 02/08/2010

my mom used to do that with baby oil....why the hell does it work?

deleted_user 02/08/2010

Not a clue just knows it does. My oldest was born almost all the way deaf and with double ear infections and my X MIL taught that one to me early on was a God send let me to you . Works fantastic

Call 911, ask for an ambulance...might sound ridiculous but it's not. If you're in serious pain, you need medical attention, and you have no means of getting from point A to point B then it's the logical thing to do.

Working for the fire department for almost 2 years I've been called out for the dumbest reasons...stuffy nose, constapation, upset stomach, you name it. Compared to these calls, intense ear pain with a pain rating of 8 isn't quite laughable. The EMT's will understand.

Now, I'm not sure how it works where you live but over here there is no charge for an ambulance ride. Things might be different there so I would suggest calling a non-emergency number first to make sure.

Thinking of you, had ear infections too! If your in that much pain at home anyway and can't afford a taxi. Take some pain relief and jump on a bus, most buses go to a city or somwhere theres a Hospital. It beats just sitting there putting up with it and you may have a long wait at the Hospital.
Good luck

deleted_user 02/08/2010

Sorry you're in so much pain and no one is willing to take you to the hospital. That really sucks. I wish I had some good advice, but alas, none. Just want to say major hugs for you right now. :(

deleted_user 02/09/2010

My friend, I can tell you that after 16 years I have pickerd up more people for stupider stuff than significant pain such as you have. It is admirable that you see EMS as a last resort but please call them out. If you ahve been in 8/10 pain for days it's not insignificant.

My all time fav stupid call was the guy who called at 0400 because he cut his finger on a tuna can. When we got there was couldn't find the cut. Please call 911.
