Meniere's Diagnosis

Hello everyone

I received a Meniere's diagnosis at the end of last year, but I've read a lot that says people don't experience pain from it. I regularly get pressure building up in my right ear until it becomes extremely painful and distracting. Is this a usual symptom?

I've looked into TMD/TMJ as well, but I get the pain completely at random, so even if I have my jaw relaxed and haven't been using it, I'll get the pain in my ear. My jaw does pop when I open it, but it has done for over ten years without any pain associated (something about the braces I had started it - the same happened with my older sister). I also don't get pain all across my head, just deep down inside my right ear.

I am going back to the ENT clinic about it, but I was wondering if this was something other people had experienced.

 

Thanks for the reply! I asked because of there being a number of articles around saying Meniere's involved no pain, so I was confused if that was really the case.

Thank you for offering possible treatments. I have some dietary restrictions due to allergies, but I'll have a look into it.

 

Thanks for the reply. Does that feel like a nerve pain, with it radiating out? I get more of a deep pain that can last for a while.

Thanks! I've had an MRI and some other tests done and those have come back clear, thankfully. How do you tell when the pressure is causing the pain?
