What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?
Question: Since I last asked the question: My same problem still persists and nobody can find an answer. Again the pain goes from the bottom of my ear to the top of my head but only on my right side. Still worse in the mornings, subsides through the day almost gone by evening but always there to some degree. I have no other symptoms other than the pain. It has been nearly 6 months.
I have seen an ENT, Dentist (jaw specialist), ophthalmologist, Neurologist. Had CT scan of the brain, ct scan of the sinus, had scan of the neck, carotid artery, blood work. All tests were negative.
