Right side neck pain and ear feels blocked

[maltahypo]

Good evening. Haven't been on here for a while, wasn't doing too bad but these past couple of days I am freaking out. Been to a doc 2 weeks ago as I had some pressure feeling in my right ear and neck pain. Doctor said I had wax in my ear and it needed removal, I haven't removed it yet. Now besides the fullness/ pressure which goes away when I take Advil, I have pain at the base of my skull, on the right which shoots to the ear sometimes. Doctor had told me that my neck muscles.arw.stiff, but I just can remove the idea of me having a tumour and dying shortly. Just wanted to ask if anyone experienced this before. Thanks for any input.

Doesn't sound like a tumour but why not get the ear wax sorted?

Thanks for your kind words. Trying to stay calm and control myself, even though I'm finding it hard. Thanks again.

Following up on this. Did you get it sorted out? I’m having the same issue on my left side

It could be a stiff neck or be related to eustachian tube issues, which is usually what causes ear infections. All kinds of things can mess with that, usually it’s just something like a cold.

I am still experiencing same issues and I am very anxious about it, should go to an ENT next week.

Good evening. Did blood tests, which turned out ok and doctor gave me some muscle relaxants/depression pills and that did the trick regarding my ear.
