Extreme outer ear pain: What can it be?

Hi there! I’m really intrigued by your post because it sounds very similar to what I went through. I’m 33, and I have identical pain to you, and I was around 30 weeks pregnant when mine started (it’s always only been in one ear). Except when mine started I also felt a bump form within the little pocket of my ear (not quite in and not quite out of the ear).

It’s been 2.5 years since it happened. Still have the bump and I’ll get the pain upon waking once every 1-2 months or so. It also feels like there’s water inside my ear when I workout sometimes. It’s usually when doing little jumps, like jumping jacks. I know it’s not sweat because it starts before the rest of my body starts sweating. I’ve seen 2 different ENTs now and neither have been able to figure it out.

Any insight you received from your doctor would be SO helpful! Also, wondering if you’re still dealing with this?? Thanks!!

Have you looked into chondritis?
