Hi, my dad has been suffering with face
pains for a while, it started with a
jabbing pain in his ear, now its moved to
his neck and right side of his face, hes
been to the doctors a few times, he
couldnt find anything wrong, so he
admitted him to the hospital.
He is going there next week, I was
wondering does anyone have any idea what
this could be, ive read up on the internet
and some of the symptoms seem to point to
head cancer, other symptoms of head cancer
aren't showing tho (pain in the teeth,
bleeing nose etc)... Maybe i'm jumping
to conclusions here but I am crapping
myself, any help would be great.
Thanks

These symptoms could also be to do with
teeth!! Jaw!! Ear!! Sinus!! Grinding
his teeth espcially when asleep!! So make
sure these are fully checked.
Another cause could be stress, if he's
clenching his jaw for example due to
stress or concentration (he may not even
be aware of doing this) then this could be
the problem in which case
yoga/relaxation/meditation all of which
could help as he must be worried & so
stressed about this to.

It really could be his teeth. I hadn't
been to the dentist in half a decade and I
was having really bad pain in my head and
stuff like that. Turned out I just
needed a cleaning. Weird how something
so simple can cause so much problems.

I have face pains for various reasons.
My neck is and back are messed up so I
have muscle spasms. I also have nerve
pain right behind my ear. That can
really hurt. Plus, I have sinus pain all
of the time too. And I grind my teeth in
my sleep.
So, it could be a number of things.
What did you find out?
