Deviated Nasal Septum

[Shery__0__0]

  After a visit from an Otolaryngologist today I was told I have
               a deviated nasal septum and the next course of treatment
               would be the "process of elimination". Surgery to correct
               this problem would be the last resort so I am off to see a
               Neurologist. My problem has to do with pressure and pain in
               my ears. I have no sinus drainage and a CAT scan and MRI
               prove that there is nothing to explain this complaint.
               What in the world could the Neurologist find to explain my
               trouble? I am very frustrated and am tired of going from
               doctor to doctor? My ENT thinks it could be related to
               Migraine Headaches but I really don't think so.
               Any thought would greatly be appreciated?

Dear Sherry,
There are classic signs and symptoms associated with migraine headaches.  Many patients will have an aura of flashing lights prior to the onset of a migraine headache that can be associated with nausea.  The headache is often unilateral and a patient will commonly avoid bright lights.  Migraines are treatable with a number of different medications.
If your physician is seriously considering the diagnosis of a migraine, then a consult to a neurologist isn't unreasonable.  It would be unusual for a migraine to present with bilateral ear pain, but perhaps the rest of the story is more compelling.
If the ear pain persists, you should probably get it checked out to be sure.  
Good luck.
