I was fine until the evening when I touched
my right
ear (towards the inside) and minced
in pain. Since then I have noticed
pain, pressure and partial numbness what feels like the inside of my ear, towards the middle, and about an inch around it surrounding the top of my jaw joint. I have difficulty opening my mouth too much. It hurts to move my jaw, to laugh, to chew, to talk, to smile and definitely to touch the area surrounding my inner ear and to lay down on that side.
