MedallioN, I am very sorry for your health concerns. If the doctors have done an MRI and CT Scan and found nothing I do not even have a clue as to what can be causing your pain. Are you seeing an ear, nose, and throat doctor? It does not sound like cancer for sinus problems could affect all those areas. Continue to work with you medical team because the really is no way for anyone on the Internet to diagnose your condition.

Best wishes,

Nag away.
Only you know your body. If something doesn't feel right, than voice it. If it's innner ear- than a course of anti-biotics should clear alot of the problem.

My mum has linear(?) disease, it effects the inner ear, balance, dizzyness and virtigo. But also when extream swallowing pain. She has found if she lowers her bloodpressure (by a dr of course) then it is better. And if she rolls out of bed a certain way. it balances the fluid in the ear.

Keep working with the team and get it worked out asap.

Good luck Inica

Inica
thanks for replying, i will bring this up with my doctor has they don't have a clue on what it could be either, first they thought acid reflex, then muscle aches, then bad headaches and now they might think it could be an inner ear problem.

hi all, well im back here to talk about how im doing..i still feel the same, doctors have no clue whats wrong..

right now as i am typing i have a warm/hot feeling going down the right side of my head and ear going down towards my right eye, my right eye feels like it is away from my stock-it and it also feels like theres prussure or something in my eye that i need to blink all the time

i also have a bump on the back of my head towards the right that acts up, i get sharp burning feelings..it feels like someone is taking a pin and poking at it sometimes..when i get those pains i get extremely dizzy and light headed and i lose my memory for a few seconds, like somone will ask me to do something and i ask "where is it, i don't see it" and from my eye down my neck i feel numbness.

i have gone for nurmerous blood work, ct's and mri's and everything seems fine..all i know is it is scarying me more and more each day, and im convinced its a brain tumor and everyone thinks not Sad ..i understand no one here can tell me what i have and don't have but some feedback would be great..thanks

sorry if i didn't make sense, just im extremely nervous/scared

Jon

Have they done some simple test- blood work. Blood pressure etc. These symptoms could mean alot of things. You could see a eye specialist too, just to cheak that out too. Could be something minor and small and easy to fix.

Like i said before keep onto them, Make them realise your not going away. You will be ther everyday, everytime. to get this fixed.

Your latest post sounds like what you should be doing. Write down all the things you are feeling and keep this up until you go back to doctor. Then, you can tell or show him, exactly what all is going on.
Doesn't sound like you would have anything to lose.
