Have you had a recent chest Xray?
During the discussion period of the conference I attended, they presented some unusual case histories. Then asked the audience to comment...no one ventured BTW...One was about a 50 ish woman with ear/face pain on one side, who seemed to have a trigeminal trigger and headache. The doctor who gave this case was very very well respected...and you know what it was? She had a lung tumor pressing on the vagus nerve in her chest and THAT was missed by her referring doctors. Sadly she was too far along with several metatases and died the next month. But everyone was looking in her head, when in fact the problem was in her lung. I am not saying this is your case, but like the presenters at the conference kept repeating.... people are complicated and there are surprises all the time! Also ear pain can be from an ear infection that has spread to the mastoid process. A poster here on RSD just posted this thinking it was RSD related and in fact it was a mastoid infection. There are just so many possibilities. Keeping all the test results and doctor visits can become a huge task in itself! I hope you find your answer soon.
