What Causes Pain Behind The Ear With Sore Neck?
I have been having pain behind my ear on my right side and soreness down my neck. At times the pain was throbbing pain that kept me from sleeping. This has been going on for about a month. I noticed it a couple of days after I went to the hair dresser so I thought maybe her pulling on my hair may have caused it. Today I am also having some sharp pain behind my left ear.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a strained muscle of the neck. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
I also suggest using Voltaren cream for local application at the neck area. Warm compresses can also be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
