Ah, having posted a comment on your photo to make sure you see a doctor I see from this blog that you already have, or rather - haven't : ) it makes you wonder how they got through med school. Have you considered Hopi candles for the wax problem, I believe they are very good if a little weird & alternative. I don't suppose opera singing and earache go together terribly well, hope your better soon.

Wow.
I'm dealing with a very painful ear myself. Been going on, intermittently, for 20 years now. Had a CT scan today. Might be something called TMJ, possibly related to a sleep apnea! Can you believe it? I can't, but if they can fix it I'll go along with just about anything.
Far be it from me to encourage someone to do an end run on their health care pro, but last time I checked you can order pretty much anything you want in the way of drugs off the Internet. Didn't hear that from me though.
Feel better.

Hey Robin!
I remember you posting about your TMJ. I hope you get that figured out. It's a little harder to get meds through the mail here. They have a whole division at the post office nationwide whose only job it is to seize any medications being mailed in. Big brother doesn't like competition. 'Thou shalt have no commerce save that which Big Brother provideth, etc....'

Doctors with senile dimentia are a problem. Too many of them continue to practice after their judgement is impaired. The only thing that stops them is when they screw up enough times.
The question is, do you want to be the end of his career?
Sounds like time to get a new doctor.

Very best of luck to you. After an accident I was left with tinnitus in my left ear, I was one of the very lucky ones and it cured itself. Normally it is incurable. I have had ear infections before and I know how painful they are. Most doctors here in England have almost zero knowledge of what to do for ear problems! One thing I do know it that they can take a very very very long time to be resolved. I hope this gets resolved very very very soon for you.

Just a thought, but being an ex-diver, ear problems are a regular and sometimes painful result. The pressures at depth move things around in your sinuses that you don't even want to think about. However, we had access to a doctor who specialised in diving problems. Being as scuba diving is now a very popular sport, I figure there must be more specialists out there. Maybe its worth contacting a local dive store who may know of one.

Big Brother is still big business over here. The gov is cutting into their action though and in a big way.
