Question: hi, please can you help. i have been suffering with headaches since september a constant headache which i wake up with and go to sleep with. i also have pain, fullness in my ears and around them and they constantly crackle when i swallow. my gp has been useless, instead of tying to find the cause they just give me pain medication to take. i have two children and it seems because of this the doctors are very quick to say its tension headaches and tell you to have time out! nothing stops the pain ever. i told my denist who suggested my wisdom teeth could be causing the pain in my ears and head, so i had my impacted wisdom teeth removed (this was not very nice) and nothing has changed at all.
i have been told its tension headaches, allergies, sinus, something up my nose!, wisdom teeth.
i went to an osteopath who thought i was on the verge of being depressed, this is really really getting me down and i feel like i am a bad mother because im just in pain all day and cant cope with shouting children, i am losing the will to live.
i had acupuncture which helped with the pain but didnt stop either but i cant afford this every week so have had to stop.
could it be a problem with my ears or tmj thats keeps popping up when i research crackling ears, please please help me.
kind regards XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
