Question: 2 nights ago I seem to have tweaked my back when I was driving. That night the right side of my back was in pain and discomfort as if i agitated or tweaked a muscle but I did not experience any other symptoms. The next morning, I had pain in my inner right ear as well as discomfort in my right eye and right nostril. Today, the discomfort in my eye and nostril has subsided but the pain in my right ear has developed into more of a shooting sensation. I have also developed extreme sensitivity and a burning like pain on a small area of the right side of my scalp. Ive noticed that when I have a shooting sensation in my right ear, I have the same shooting pain in the area on my scalp. The pain is not constant, as it does come and go. I spoke to my family doctor and she said that it could be an issue with my Trigeminal Nerve. After reading about this, it often spoke to how problems with this nerve usually only happen in people that are over the age of 50. My question to you is do these symptoms match issues with the Trigeminal Nerve? How could someone my age experience problems with this? Could it just be due to the fact that I may have injured my back? Is there any other possibilities?

Thanks doctor. I also woke up in the middle of the night experiencing overwhelmed with hot flashes along with dizziness and some nausea. Would this explain anything further? What could this mean?

My symptoms seem to be constantly changing Doctor. I woke up again 5 hours later and I did not feel dizzy or sick but my ear hurts when I swallow and my right gland in my neck seems slightly swelled and hurts. Is there any possibility that all these symptoms may be some sort of infection?
