Good Morning my Friends!

Zipeedahdoodah ..... ! 8)

I have a quick question:
For the last few weeks my right ear feels like there is something in it and I really feel it when I yawn or chew.
GP had a peek and it is not wax and couldn't see anything.
It is getting worse. I was thinking if GP cannae see anything then maybe it is a swelling thing? I often have a sore swollen jaw but this doesn't feel connected.

Does anyone suffer similar?
Carol :lol:

    Hi Carol,

    It might be the arthritis in your jaw affecting your ear especially if it's the right-hand side of your jaw that's swollen too.

    If it persists go back to your GP, when you don't go back they think you're okay again :roll: so it's no use suffering in silence :| .

    Luv Legs :D
    Love, Legs x

    Hi Carol

    I agree with Linda

    It may well be connected. When my jaw 'went' it felt like m,y ear, teeth or jaw :(

    If you arent already I should take your anti-inflams :(

    Love

    Thanks Cris and Lynne.

    Yep, I take anti-inflams and I don't think they touch my swellings at all though.

    I'll keep you posted.

    Have a great day!
    Carol

    Poor you Carol

    When I had it it lasted a fair few weeks. :(

    I was up in scotland as it started over christmas. Some people swear by a heat pad over the affected side.

    Might be best to avoid chewy foods for a while too.

    Good luck

    Oh thanks Carol

    Maybe you'd better not do too much opera singing either :wink:

    He he!!

    Haha! :lol: Just been filling out DLA forms today so my shrieking and swearing in pure frustration could maybe be mistaken for opera singing :lol:
