It started feeling like I had "slept wrong" and had stiff neck, hurt to turn to the left. Then 2 days later I had sharp pains in R ear and if I put my R palm against my R ear all the area out to tips of fingers has pain and to even touch my hair feels like I've got glass slivers in my scalp. Went to Kaiser twice, no ear infection, they thought it might be dental, like an abscess, but I have no pain in my mouth and can eat raw carrots so I don't think it's an abscess. Now my R ear lobe is swollen and red, if I touch it it feels like there's glass shards in it. The ear canal is normal and shows no sign of infection. They did labs and my white blood cells are high, they gave me amoxicillin, started it yesterday and my head is still killing me. Any help appreciated.
