I'm sorry to hear your experiencing such a painful problem right now. I think you should really let your DR take a look at it and make sure your okay.
It could be caused by any number of things and it's not possibkle for any of us to know if it could indicating a serious problem.
So my advice would be to just get it checked out as soon as you can. It may be something as simple as water in your inner ear that is putting pressure on your ear drum and causing pain. Have you been swimming any this summer?
Are you being tested for arthritis?
I hope you feel better and it has a quick and simple treatment.
TMA
I hope you find some relief soon!
Good luck
I have had thaat same pain so I massaged my ears and really digged into some small areas and found some very painful spots which were most likely balled up nerves or ligaments but that intense ear massage worked. The sharp ear inner ear pains stopped!
