I am not sure if you can help but if you can reassure me in anyway I will be very grateful.

Here goes.... last year I was suffering from blocked ears, facial pain, sinus pressure etc... I saw my dr who thought i had chronic sinusitis, I was given antibiotics countless times which offered no relief. I then paid privatly and went to see an ENT specialist. He did a CT scan and said it was the most perfect sinus scan he had ever seen. He could not explain the pains, he thought they were possibly neuraliga.

The pain is often down my left ear, left arm and left leg. I have seen my GP about this since my scan last October and he has said there is no cause, its just that pain travels and to take pain killers when it gets bad. They did both think stress and tension could be a factor.

I have not had any of these pains for 3 months then last month I caught a cold off my children, I ended up with green coming from my nose, cheek pain on left, left ear pain for about 10 days then I was given antibiotics. I felt much better in 3 days of taking them but I was left with pressure in my left ear, mainly in the euthstation (no idea how to spell that, lol) but the tube from ear to throat felt like it had alot of pressure in it. I was due to fly so I went to my dr twice in a week I was so worried and he said it was just common after a cold/sinusitis and not to worry. He gave me a steroid spray for it and it did help but then just as I was feeling better 2 weeks ago my children came down with a nasty virus, cough & cold. I caught it yet again and was full of cold. Its coming to an end now, my mucus from my nose has gone from green to clear so im not worrying its sinusitis again but ive got pressure in my left ear tube again and abit in left nostril. It is always my left side that I get these problems when I get a cold but today the dr checked me over, said its just a virus and not to worry. He said my ears were fine.

So my question is can I stop worrying about this? is he right its just normal after a cold/sinusitis and it doesn't mean ive now got chronic sinusitis?

I get myself in such a state as I did far too much reading a few years ago and read ear problems and chronic sinusitis can cause meningitis. I panic everytime I get this pressure and pain.

I hope you can help.
