Could Recurred Burning Feeling In Shins And On And Off Sharp Pain In Ear Be Related?

Over 6 months ago I felt a sensation of something crawling in my ear. My doctor said I had some ear wax, and it was removed. The feeling continued. Then my doctor prescribed antibiotic ear drops and my ear seemed better. I had athorough hearing test and everything was normal. At that time I also had a burning feeling in both shins. My doctor prescribed Pamelor and the sensation went away. Now the leg pain has returned and my ear has intermittent sharp pains. Could these symptoms be related? I am a healthy active 65 year old female..no longer taking the Pamelor.

If the levels are normal , ten i think you should meet your neurologist for further examination and advice thanks
