this is the worst pain of my entire life

Ear pain is the absolute worst pain a human can experience, it's a PTSD-worthy pain. It's the "screaming, crying, I am ready to jump out of the window" type of pain, which feels like somebody is drilling a sharp knife inside your skull through the ear. Okay, the pain one gets the day after wisdom teeth removal can be comparable. Sending lots of hugs to everyone who ever experiences this. In my 30 year short life I have had this multiple times and this experience makes me deeply scared every time I get a runny nose.

Going through this right now. Hands down the absolute worst pain of my life. Can't sleep, cant eat or talk properly, any sharp sounds really irritates it. Like someone's stabbing me in the ear with a red hot f***ing needle.

That’s what my ears doing right now is itching and you know it’s hard to hear

I was going this symptoms now the pain gone and after taking antibiotics drops and now my hearing loss is still there it’s been more than week and I’m worried the NHS doctor told to wait for few weeks so should I need to wait?

I'm using olive oil guys, i worked before and got fixed in a week but recently i scarhed it so it got worse like it were. I'm using oil again.

I have one at least once a year. Most of the time twice, and it sucks. It stems from my sinus infection.
