sudden sharp stabbing ear pain?

Question

about 1.5 years ago we were driving along a residential street when the passenger window blew out(i was sitting in passenger seat hubby was driving) we aren't sure what happened but think a rock hit the window from a lawn mower accross the street. anyway all the windows were up in the van and when the window broke i felt enormous pressure on the side of my face. after that i have had sharp stabbing pains in my right ear. dr has checked for infection and glass or debris from the window and found none. sometimes it will hit me just out of the blue it is very painfull. it came to my attention today that it may have something to do with the baarmetric pressure. as we have had a major storm come in today and my ear hurts like crazy. i think i may try keeping a diary of when the pain hits and the weather conditions. but do you think that the barametric change is a probabl cause of my irratic stabbing ear pain? thanks michelle

Answer 1

It is possible. There are people who can tell when it's going to rain, by pain in their joints, etc. However, my concern is that these pains are happening. Since the dr. found nothing in the way of infection or debris at the time you got checked, could you please possibly consider being referred by your dr. to an Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) dr., to check further? They specialize in that part of the body, not saying your dr. didn't do a good job, he/she did. It would be a more thorough exam. Just to make sure nothing is physically wrong. And, to answer any/all questions you may have about this pain. It's good that you are keeping a diary of the pain etc. I wish you the best. Take care.
