Extreme outer ear pain: What can it be?

Wow. I could not have described this ear pain any better. I have had the same issues for around 5 or more years. The ENT Doctor found nothing wrong with me, it’s around 5 am and I can’t sleep because of the pain. The kicker her is I CAN NOT SLEEP ON MY BACK! This probably would solve the issue? It’s a nightmare. I bought pillows with ear holes. Nothing works. I have also put an ice pack around ear at night. Pain meds do not work. Vitamins did not help. Why is this happening to us? I recently was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis but I truly don’t think it is linked to ear pain. If anyone has answers, please help and share. Thank you.

saraan - is your ear red and warm? Does the condition last for days? If so, you might consider Nibor's suggestion. But my ear cartilage pain has no other symptom than pain. Usually a vague to moderate ache, but with extreme pain when touched or even moved with smiling or eyebrow lifting etc. may be gone in 30 minute to half a day. Have only had longer period of time once. But, extreme stretching of the head neck has been marvelous at clearing the problem the last few times I have tried it. Be sure to include tilting the head back while smiling broadly and maybe even rolling the eyes back in the head. Still in the experimental satge with this technique since it can be months between 'attacks'. good luck
