: Some nights I get a dreadful pain on the ear I am lying on. It
  is not deep in the ear or ear canal nor around the pinna, but on the
  flat bony bit in between. The pain gets so bad that it wakes me up
  but is always worse as I lift my head up off the pillow after about
  ten-twenty minutes it goes off and I can go back to sleep again. At
  times when I have failed to wake up the pain has radiated around
  the back of my head and stayed with me as a bad ache for many
  hours afterwards.
   The dentist says that the pain is in the wrong place for tooth
  problems but made a guard anyway which has not solved the
  problem. The doctor cannot see anything in my ears despite looking
  on almost every visit ( I do keep saying it
