My pain behind my left ear is in short sharp pains and it only comes around the same time everyday. It usually happens when I am at home in the evening and I sit down on the couch to watch t.v or surf the internet on my laptop. I don't think that it is a headache because I have had very few headaches in my life and the ones that I have had feel nothing like this. It helps if I put pressure on it with my pointer and middle finger for a minute or two but then the pain comes right back. What could this be? Please help...it hurts really bad!
