Hi everyone and a Happy New Year
I was wondering if anyone had experienced sharp pain in ear and scalp pain. I did go to my doctors this morning and he says it is related to my sinuses but could find no infection. I thought it may be ms related it’s getting worse tonight stabbing pain every couple of minutes. I will see how it goes and ouch ouch go back to docs tomorrow.

Hi Izzy, Happy new year to you. Do you have M.S. ?

Sounds like what I suffer with… trigeminal neuralgia. Suffer it for weeks at a time then poof. it’s gone.
Hi Ella
Happy new year to you to, yeah I have ms.
Hi and thanks for your reply. Fingers crossed it will clear up soon.
Hi
I get lots of these problems due to sinus issues and eustacian tube dysfunction, I get blaming it on the MS but extensive tests revealed otherwise. Get neck pain if the ear won’t open and tender scalp if sinus are troubling me, From this I went on to clenching my teeth due to sinus issues and then ended up with TMJ. Jaw problems.
I do lots of Steam inhalation to try to get sinus clear
Hope this helps
Hi
Thanks for your reply, Will try the steam inhalation this is driving me mad, not a lot of bother yesterday but came back this morning.

I get the sharp head pains every now and again but it was one of the main symptoms that led to my diagnosis. Check out ‘Ice pick head pain’ in the search or ‘head pains’ as some of us do suffer from this type of symptom. I have been prescribed Gabapentin and carbamazapine for them in the past and also had iv steroids for them when I was first diagnosed.
Take care.

Ah, thanks izzy, it’s going well, I think - fingers crossed. It was touch and go at 3 months but thing have improved I think x I always thought that the pains was because my body was attacing itself, scary, I know! But since I’ve changed my job and diet things have been so much better, excpt for the fact my body decided it didn’t like Tecfidera. I have an appointment early feb, with my neuro, to discuss what happens next!
Awe that’s great, seems like it was for the best and a good move for you. Shame about the tecfidera but here’s hoping that you can sort things out with the neuro. I was offered tecfidera myself but decided not to go with it. Had a couple of infusions rituximab.
Hope things continue to improve for you
take care
