What Causes Pressure In Ear After Wax Removal?

Used the candle ear wax removal method in August 2012. Since then I have been having pressure and discomfort in left ear. It actually feels like a finger is stuck in my ear and when I push upwards on the left side of my neck to my ear it feels like something is crawling deep in my ear canal. I have been examined by two different ENT physicians and have been treated with decongestants and Levaquin with no relief. The last ENT physician I saw wanted to send me for a hearing test but I am not having any trouble with my hearing. I have been seeing a chiropractor and had my neck adjusted a few times and now I am feeling even worse with pressure in my ear canal and neck discomfort with some numbness radiating to my left thumb and first finger. Please advise. Thank you.
