CHRONIC BLOCKED EARS
HI I HAVE HAD BOTH EARS COMPLETELY BLOCKED FOR OVER A YEAR. HEAVY FULLNESS AND PRESURE. THEY HAVE NEVER POPPED, HAVE SEEN MANY DOC'S AND ENT'S WITH NO HELP. HAD TUBES PUT IN 2 WEEKS AGO AND BLOCKED AND FULLNESS IS NOW WORSE...HELP ANYONE. ALL SOUNDS ARE MUFFELED AND GOING INSANE!!! CT SCAN SHOWED NOTHING AND ANTIBIOTICS AND NASAL SPRAYS AND SUDAFED AND NO HELP. HELP PLEASE.
I, too, have had full ears for a long time. At least 10 years. I'm wondering if anyone else had had the experience of a very large tonsil consistently blocking their eustachian tube. I'm guessing this may be what is going on, but I finally insisted on an ENT specialist (my general has already gone through all the advice that ENTs seem to have given people, above). In any case, just wondering if a large tonsil might be causing this for anyone else. Unfortunately, taking those suckers out was out of fashion when I was a kid.
In desperation I went to a Acupuncture guy, his office looked like a doctors office complete with a nice looking secretary and hundreds of file folders in the back ground.
I thought this was the stupidest thing I ever have done..... So I pay some joker $80 to stick some pins in my body. My sucker alarm was screaming at me to get up and leave but I stayed. So, anyway this guy gets me to lay on a tablelike bed and he sticks two pins in each hand and foot, then he leaves me for about 30 min or more and when he comes back my ears are clear and for 3 days I have felt completely well. It is like an anticlimax, it seemed to be much to do about nothing. But it seems to be the end of my nightmare of 3 years. I am still in shock, I just can't believe he could cure me so easy, no million dollar machines, no series of test, he just did it like it was nothing. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming.

I woke up during the night with the sore spot on my back hurting so put the tennis balls in a sock there to relieve the pain but I fell asleep.
I woke up at 3:30 am and the pain was gone but I was so wobbly I could barely go to the bath room.
It was almost like the first time I first got sick except this time my sinuses and Eustachian tubes are perfectly clear and my ears barely have a ring to them and no spins at all. I laid in bed till 6:30am but still felt the same, I considered 911 but they would give me antivert and muscle relaxant which I had on hand so I took it and went back to bed, that is when the electrical storm started in my head and back, at one point it was like a swim cap was pulled over my brain and under the skull it was pulled tight and then released. It was all too much for me so I went to sleep till afternoon; I woke up to my back with muscles so sore and tight that it was like a sheet of armour. I wonder if some place in the brain there is a program to pull on this and that muscle until it readjust the spine and that is what all the jerking was about.
Anyway I ate lunch and felt like a million bucks, not dizzy and back not hurting. Life is amazing. Too bad I couldn't get muscle relaxants until the third year of sickness.

I think if a ear is blocked due to wax then he can put oil on his ear , so that it get loosen and the wax come out !
When there is a sore spot on my back I usually put a small pillow between the spot and the bed and it works out the kinked vertebra. A week ago I did that and fell asleep but woke up to all my muscles doing the jerk like a person with Parkinson's disease; after about 30 minutes I moved off the pillow and the jerks stopped instantly. Must have been pinching an important nerve.
Today I was rolling my head around and there was a spot where my head was perfectly balanced but that was on a sore spot and it made my body unbalanced so I rolled my head backward and forward so that I never got too unbalanced; then I took a walk... all the while rolling over the sore spot; after about 30 minutes I noticed the sore spot had moved to the center of my shoulder blades but it was still the spot that affected my balance.
So my back is definitely causing my vertigo and when my ears clog up that too definitely gives me vertigo.
