Detailed Answer:
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion i think you have a sort of arthritis maybe due to gout or rheumatoid . i do not think your upper pain in your ears is related to such symptoms may be a kind of inflammation .also post menopausal osteoporosis is more liable to happen in older females due to loss of reproductive hormones .
For my patients i suggest urine analysis , ASOT ( anti streptolysin o titre ) , Rf (rheumatoid factor ) , SUA ( serum uric acid ).
You may use painkillers like NSAIDS ( advil tabs ) when needed , hot massages with topical gels , B12 vitamin supplements , muscle relaxants , allow high fluid intake , avoid high salts and proteins meals , Physiotherapy sessions with a chiropractor and maintaining a physical active pattern will be helpful for most of cases .
If pain persists have these lab investigations done and send them to me or follow it up with your physician for proper evaluation and management to prevent further complications .
Please click and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health,
Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
