Hi! I also have a small AN and I'm on watch and wait. I have all those symptoms except tinnitus. The doctors tell me they have nothing to do with my AN since it's so small but I don't agree with that.

I think I have some sort of nerve pain on my face on the AN side. And occasionally my facial muscles are very sore for no reason. I've also had days when the skin on my scalp is so sensitive touching it hurts. And it's always on the AN side.

Lemon00 hi thanks for the reply sorry to hear you are suffering with the same symptoms as it is very unpleasant. I am also being told it can’t be the AN that also is what I’m being told about my headaches. On Thursday I am going to email my skill base nurse and explain it all to him as life is becoming a bit difficult now. And my hair is a mess as can’t always brush it 😂 although that’s the least of my worries. If I get any news about what’s happening I will let you know.😀
