RLS maybe.... not sure how its got in your ear though! ;-)If its RLS its is typical at night as you rest & relax - it is so annoying! Make sure you tell your GP.

Good luck

Pins and needles down one side and numbness? Not to be alarmist but I had pins and needles in my hand occasionally and it turned out to be trans ischaemic attacks then I had a stroke. An MRI scan confirmed what I suspected and doctors thought was nerve pain. Speak to your consutant. Good luck.

I get numbness & tingling that comes & goes, MancRhain. When it first started it was one side of my face & my GP was concerned it could be a stroke. Fortunately it wasn't, but as IMillar says, it would be better to be on the safe side & speak to your doctor.

I hope it all turns out to be OK for you too. There have been lots of posts on here previously about numbness, so maybe if you do a search you might come up with more info to help you.

Best wishes. X

A lot of pins and needles and numbness is down to the nerves being pinched. Face pain down side, might be teeth.

I recently had a bout of ear pain and it turned out to be eczema!
