Radiating EAR PAINS??



Recommended Posts

When I eat or drink I get radiating ear pains.. HELP! Does anyone else have this symptom and what is the cause?? Could it be acid reflux, hernia or being too restricted?? OR something else. I know its band related but what? I have had my band for 5years now. dialated esophogus and fills and defills etc,,,,,

It doesn't sound band related to me, but I'm new to this whole band thing. You might want to head into your PCP and get your ears and throat checked out.

Actually sounds more like what is called TMJ or TMD, which is related to chewing, inflammation, trauma, incorrect bite or if you clench or grind your teeth. The joint right in front of your ear can cause pain and it can radiate down your neck and up into the temple.

just a thought..but see your Doctor and get it checked..keep us posted..hope you feel better soon.

Ivy and Jackie are both correct but you wont know for sure until you go in for an assessment. Mis is also right that we cannot assume all our symptoms are band related. You will still get colds, flus, viruses or you can develop new conditions...again, none related to the band.

Does it happen when you have something cold or soon after you have something cold? Could be trigeminal neuralgia...my sister had it. Totally unrelated to band...it is inflammation of the nerve that goes to the face and sinus and teeth. You need to see your primary care doctor.

Another thing to consider... I had ear problems after I lost about 60 lbs. ear doc said that rapid weight loss can affect ears. Apparently, I had lost weight in my ear causing an off balance... My ears would just pop randomly though.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
