Do you know what is causing my left ear to....?

I keep having pain behind my left ear frequently. It feels like when you wear new glasses and they hurt because you aren't used to them. In fact it is right at the end of where your glasses would hit you behind the ear. I have had mine over a year now. And it seems to be in the outside part of the ear, not a gland, lymph node, or the ear canal.
Any ear specialists out there?

Not my wisdom teeth, they have already been taken out. Thanks!

Your Glasses could be out of adjustment- I would go have an optician check them for you and show them the backside of your ear- it will tell the story if that is the case!

Unexplained pain (anywhere), and dozens of other symptoms are quite common with this cursed disease. If you can find no other reason for the pain, blame the fibro.

One day, I was out in the yard digging holes to plant shrubs in, and both of my feet started getting 'pins and needles' and going numb. Being diabetic, I got really scared. I went inside to check my blood sugar expecting it to be in the 300 to 400 range. It was 80. My friend, who also has fibro, explained that it can cause that and just about anything else you can imagine. One day, I was out walking and started to lose my balance. It felt like I was trying to walk on a water bed. My friend said, without hesitation, "fibro!". Since then, I've learned to accept any and all unexplained symptoms on the fibro. Since they usually go away in a day or so, I've learned to not worry as it just raises my blood sugar.

I would be happy to share some of the other several dozen symptoms with you, but I don't want to take up the whole page and I would be here most of the evening.

Here are just fifty of the symptoms:
