pain in head behind ear

[toffeelolly]

Hi anyone had this really getting me down especially as I have 3 young children. For about 7 weeks now would have had the odd twinge on and off behind the ear ( the boney part of head) but over the last couple of days have took a constant pain in that area and around the side of neck all the same side and now pain is also around that shoulder were it is really painful to even lift that arm. A
a m sitting with a heat pad on to see if it helps. The boney bit were pain is behind ear is tender to touch. Cannot remember hurting or pulling anything around the area. Anyone had this?

Anyone.

I have pain behind my ear due to Trigeminal Neuralgia but it doesn't go to my shoulder. Any face pain?
If it's nerve pain there are several drugs to help.

No. no face pain Just pain like stiff neck and shoulder and like the pain around back of ear. If still sore next week will see what doctor says.
