So it's been almost 7 months since I slammed the right side of my head (right above my ear) into a hanging dining table light, and I still feel residual pain at the site of impact occasionally. It's like this sore, sometimes tender to touch pain. When it comes on it usually accompanies a feeling of fullness in my right ear and even earache at times. Saw a very good ENT who cleaned out a lot of wax from my right ear and told me it'd go away, but no luck.

This is very odd to me and I wonder if any others have this issue. It just doesn't make sense to me that structural soft tissue (assuming that's what it is) damage wouldn't have healed by now. Plus, the side of head is pretty bony, not even sure what may have gotten damaged in that area from the impact.

Any ideas, interesting thoughts etc.?
