Tightness Behind Left Ear - Help!! Posted: 01-22-04 16:07pm
About two or more weeks ago I started
noticing there was a tightness behind my
left ear. It has been getting worse day
by day. I feel like I have to tilt my
head to the left to ease the tightness.
It is very irritating and I was wondering
if anyone has had this before. I went to
the doctor last week, and she said that it
was a strained muscle in my neck that was
caused by holding the phone with my
shoulder. I do that alot at work. This
past week I have been trying to hold the
phone in the other ear, and rubbing my
neck and behind my ear, but it seems to be
getting worse, not better. My coworker
told me to go back and get a second
opinion. It makes me feel like I am
sick, or getting sick. Also, when I
touch behind my ear it feels like a lump,
or just really tight or swollen, and it is
just on my left ear. Has anyone ever
heard about this or experienced this at
all???? Please respond if you do.
Thank you

I have also had a tightless behind both
ears but my left ear is the worst. It's
like alittle ball between my ear,just in
front the tendon to the neck and just
behind the lower jaw bone. It is worse
when I get a cold and I do have sinus
troubles due to allergies. Did you find
out what yours was from yet???

I've had that a few times in the last 2
years, doctor told me I had a ear
infection and gave me anti-bac drops for
my ears. It cleared up in a couple days.
