Quick Question.....does anyone have problems with their ears? I feel the need to constantly clean them as they feel blocked and painful but they also feel like there's pressure inside them? The only way I can describe it is they feeling your arm gets when your having your blood pressure done! Hope that makes sense? X

Hiya, I get tinnitus and pressure in my ears, like they need to pop but they wont. They often feel blocked but there is no blockage.

As far as I know mine is down to meniers syndrome as that was dx first but I think they are overlap symptoms of fibro as well xx

yes i feel i have to clean my ears too,it's awful and itchy,it feels like something inside wriggling around,i have to itch vigorously to feel any comfort and sometimes they feel sore, i thought it was something to do with my TMJ (jaw disorder)as it's very close to my ears xx

Yep I do have itchyness and also oh dear can;t remember what it's called erm.

eczema that's it right from a child.

I also have what is called Chronic rhinitis, which flares up now and again causing balance problems and dizzynees, pain in the eyes and forehead ,like migraine.

I have found that placing a small piece of raw onion wrapped in thin cotton in the ear and taping it over to secure .cures this.

My ears are exactly like that. all the time.

No doctor has ever said how to treat it it, i just hope i dont have to put up with all my life.

Thanks for all your replies, sorry for delay been in bed most of the weekend! Def best to check it out when I next see the doctor, just not very good at communicating with people do I more often than not don't say what I need to/what is wrong.

Thanks again, hope you've all had a food weekend x
