Well it all started 4 weeks ago when I was
at work I started getting a "swooshing
sound" behind my right ear ... I went to
our family doctor who said it was fluid
behind my ear well..........5 trips to the
doctor, 2 prescriptions of amoxicillin
later ......... Doesnt seem to go away
and actually has gotten worse...I have
since seen an ent twice and he has done
every test known to man and swears its
caused by my tmj (temporo-mandibular joint
) I do not believe it has anything to do
with my jaw as my jaw does not hurt and I
have had tmj for many years and have never
felt this in my ear. I have taken
sudafed, ear drops, amoxicillin , nasonex
and nothing seems to work!! I am having a
cat scan next week and going to the
dentist ......... I need to get this
figured out for sanity purposes it drives
me crazy!!Plus we are going on a very
expensive trip in may and I am afraid to
fly with this ear pain!! When I explain
it to the doctors its almost like they
dont believe me !! I feels like swooshing
or heavy wind blowing in my ear thats the
best I can explain it ... It comes and
goes and comes on when I yawn or burp
..... I just want answers!! I mean this
is why we pay so much for our Dr. Visits
...... Do they even know what they are
doing??? Is anyone else out there with
these syptoms?? Or am I fighting this
battle alone??????? Please any insight
would be helpful!!
