Hi Valerie. I am sorry you are having so much pain. There are a lot of medications that help with nerve pain so I hope your neurologist identifies something that will help you feel better. My husbands pain is all on his left side of his face. He describes the ear pain as the outside of his ear sometimes, but always in the upper part of left side of his face. It used to happen any time of day or night and it would last an extremely long time. We started calling them “attacks”. He has to pace around the room because the pain is so bad. He shakes and it’s almost like having a seizure. He is on different medications to keep the pain down, but nothing has completely taken it away. His neurologist now has him scheduled for an appt with a neurologist specializing in headaches to check for cluster headaches or migraines. It seems a lot worse than a migraine though. Cluster headaches were a thought early on. We are continuing to search. May your search lead you to something that will give you some relief.
