Gosh, I thought I was the only person in the world with this!

Seriously. I've Googled on this for ages, but I can't find any references to it.

My trouble is that I can't lie on my left side at night because my Crohn's and my bad MS leg is there, and many nights I can't lie on my right side because the burning pain on that ear is so bad! What's a girl to do???

And yes, you described it perfectly--it's on the outside of the ear, and it burns and hurts. I've had it for a few years on and off, but lately, with my MS nerve problems getting worse, this has gotten worse too and it's nearly every night.

When I see my neuro next month, I'm going to talk to him about it. I've finally decided that, because of the nature of the pain--the burning, tingling, aching feeling--it might be an MS thing after all.

Anyway, so glad you brought this up....it's one strange symptom, but in my case, there seems to be no other reason for it! I'll let you know what my neuro says, so stay tuned!
