Is Ear Pressure Problem Associated With Wegener S Granulomatosis?

Hello, my first time using this site...I came down with wegener s granulomatosis over 2 years ago and have recovered well but one condition that surfaced at the beginning of this time that has never gone away is my left ear constantly has pressure in it,and hardly ever clears up.On occasion this causes ear and jaw pain....these symptoms are forever changing depending on day or night, some changes with exercise, yawns and other jaw-type actions but it is usually always plugged up[ear pressure] . I have seen an eent specialist[did not reveal anything], and have seen jaw specialists as well[ tmj and dentists]. I have recently taken an x-ray of my sinuses as they were plugged up when I initially got granulomatosis and through my g.p. am on flonase at the moment. Do you have any other ideas as far as ear pressure problems associaled with wegener s granulomatosis?

Hi.
Thanks for your query, read and understood your concerns:
Wegener's is not known to cause ear problems directly.
It is possible that the the distortion of the internal opening of the Eustachian tube can cause all such problems and an endoscopy can help to get a proper diagnosis and any be a small surgery over this area may help you.
