Hi, I went to many doctors for earlobe pain and finally got right diagnosis from ear specialist- nerves in my neck! Hot water bottle followed by massage of back of my neck helps. Worth a try

Polychondritis - relapsing. Found a cure. Clean out your colon. Look up lemonade diet. Do sea saltwater rinse for a day. Clean out uour colon and issue is cured.

Exact same symptoms for myself. As horribly painful as it is, as soon as I can sit or stand up the pain subsides. Having someone bring a hot water bottle and resting it over the ear seems to help reduce the pain.

This actually describes my problem perfectly, down to the part about not being able to lift your ear off of your pillow, my doctor continually says it's sinuses but I can't really explain to her that it's not really the same thing, sinus would irritate my ears all of the time, and the thing where my ear hurts extremely bad when lifting off my pillow doesn't make an sense, but only for a second then the pain goes away and I can go about my day

It is amazing that so many people suffer from this ear pain. Dhruv Gupta MD does not understand this symptom. It is only when lying on the ear and is extremely painful and takes a while to go when moving off the pillow. I am 76 and had it many times some years ago but over the last 6 months it has returned .Fortunately my left ear is not as painful as the right one so I can turn over when it wakes me up. There are no lumps or infections just pain and heat.

I agree with your doctor. Treating sinuses has cured my ear pain. Ears and sinuses are the same system and work together.

I had same problem for over 11 years. Haven't had any problems in last 7 years. Unless I travel. It was a fluke how I discovered it. At a chiropractic for horrible shoulder problem. He told me to try a new pillow. Chiroflow. It was $115.00! I was desperate. It did nothing for shoulder, but I never woke up with ear pain. I thought it was a fluke or I grew out of what ever caused my ear pain. Until I went out of town, slept in a hotel, and 1st night ear pain is back! Suffered for 4 nights. Came home no ear pain! Bought a travel size ! They are alot cheaper now. Around 40.00 on amazon! I'm not affiliated with either. But it 100% helped me
