Re: Sinus/ear pressure
Okay, well you can relax. Viral infection, compounded by bacterial invasion, can take many weeks to fully resolve and each time you're exposed, viral mutations can simply re-initiate the viral load because immunity is not conferred. Also, failure for the condition to fully resolve presents with relapse as well. Either condition is quite common. Sinus conditions that also involve the inner ear can be very tenacious. Incidentally, the spelling is "eustachian."
As for the neuralgic pain, some patients with infections that involve the ear complain of referred pain, particularly on the side relative to the affected ear. Numbness, shooting pains, etc. are among symptoms described. While I've not heard of the same leg being involved as well, I would suspect this to be relevant to the condition at hand for now.
If the pain is accompanied by weakness or if the limbs feel cold and ache, then we would consider looking for something else, but mere pain in the absence of other relative symptoms is likely related to the condition presently at hand.
Meningitis is not an issue here. Whew! Drink clear fluids, stay well clear of dairy products and take non-aspirin pain relievers if necessary. You're going to be fine.
