My left ear keeps burning

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I was just wondering if somebody knew what could cause this. Every time I sit down at my computer (I have a couch instead of a chair), after a while my left ear really burns. I don't just mean somewhat hot, it's like somebody's holding a candle flame too close to it and it's a near-painful burning sensation. The burning stays just on the opening of the outer ear.


This has been going on for about 3 weeks now, only happens when I'm sitting down, and I'm definately not sick. The closest thing I could relate to it is that I get burning and needles in my arms and legs because of soft-tissue and nerve damage throughout my back/neck/spine, but it's never been hot like this and never in my ear before, and it's definately only my left ear.

Weird eh?

Actually I've always had exceptionally low blood pressure.

Nah, I already have enough things I bother him with as is.

i reckon you should get yourself checked out...it might be nothing but it could be related to the nerve damage in your back so i would err on the side of caution if i were you.
