I recently quit using meth after smoking everyday for just over 3 years. Some days just a small amount, some days very large amounts. After the 2nd day of not smoking, I started having sharp, painful twinges in my left ear. Sometimes it is accompanied with a warm, wet feeling in my ear but there s not any actual fluid. The twinges also go down the left side of my neck. My lobe is tender and cause pain when pressure is applied. At first, I thought of withdrawals. However, I have no other symptoms of withdrawal.
