Anyone with outer ear pain after sleeping on the side? Been waking with sore ears when sleeping on my side, also I have horrible pain behind my ears. I have TMJ issues and might have trigeminal neuralgia

Two pain specialists said I had trigeminal neuralgia .,even gave me ten needle blocks in my neck to rule out occipital neuralgia . My neurologist said I didn’t . He is a Mayo Clinic graduate, and he was correct !

Pt by a jaw specialist worked . Find one and it might work for you . They even work inside the mouth . . Ask for an order . I even had ear pain which felt like a little bug inside . All gone now and I had been in tears with the pain .

I sometimes have pain in my left ear when I wake up and sometimes it hurts for a few hours after. But I also have issues with my eustachian tubes getting blocked. I have been noticing my jaw and teeth hurt a little as well as my head. Turns out I am clenching my teeth all night. Got a nightguard for it!

Omg. Yes. I have been ecperiencing this a lot lately. Mostly my left ear. I have tmj but also realized my muscles and fascia in my face neck and shoulders are bad. I thjnk they squeeze around the muscles and nerves by my ear causing the pain. I have nit found relief. Muscle relaxer helps a bit but not enough. Gentle hugs

Yes, I get that sometimes. I just assumed it was the nerves acting up.
