I’ve been digging around trying to find a picture for it but all I could find was an old post on this forum! So I’ll link it here: Do you think it’s possible to touch my styloid there? ( Photo )
(e - I hope it is ok to do this as I am linking back to a picture of someone else.)
This area has been of interest to me for a long time now. I notice that pressing on it recreates the pain I have in my ears almost exactly and also gives me a moderate headache. It’s a fairly pronounced, small bony area that you can run your finger over. Does anyone else have this/know what it is?
I’ll squeeze another question in here so I don’t make another thread: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had terrible right sided ear pain. The only reliable way to relieve the pain is by pressing my tongue down on the right side floor of my mouth. This instantly causes my ear to crackle and ‘break’ open like a seal. It is strictly temporary and closes back up in 20 seconds or so. I have no idea what mechanism is causing this. Any ideas?
Thanks everybody.
