Pain In Scalp, Ear, Temple. Had CSF Leak Repair And Mastoidectomy Months Back. Cause Of Pain?
I had a CSF leak repair and a mastoidectomy 15 months ago. Everything went fine. Currently I have stabbing electrical-like pain in my scalp, ear, temple...it hurts like hell. I've been having it for 4 days now, I had it one month ago, three weeks before that, three weeks before that and three weeks before that. It seems cylical, and its not always on the same side as I had the surgery, sometimes its in the opposite. I get stabbing pain in my ear or temple, it lasts a few seconds and it comes on a few times every minute, for a couple of days. What do you suspect?

IN MASTIDECTOMY WE OPEN THE MASTOID TO EAR SO THAT IT IS DRAINED OUT IF FILLS
BUT SOMETIME THE PASSAGE BLOCK AND THERE IS ACCUMULATION OF DRAINAGE IN MASTOID CAUSING THIS
GET CONSULTATION FOR CLEARING OF MASTIOD SECRETIONS
FOR TIME CAN ADD ANTIBIOTICS ANTIALLERGICS AND ANALGESICS TILL YOUR CONSULTATION
