I too have neck strain since the start. I have whiplash due to the way my head had flung around in the incident. I haven't been on any meds other than over the counter pain relievers. (Don't work btw)

I see a massage therapist 2 x a week and I'm able to move it a bit more than I could before but I still have a way to go. The pain is still there.

As far as ear pain I don't have outer ear pain more like a inner discomfort. Loud noises bother me and I wear a hood all the time like the wind outside aggravates it.
