I Had surgery done to my Left  tempral lobe this passed November 4th 2008.  It is now December 13 2008 making it 6 weeks since. All of the pain from where they cut into my brain and skull as well as the pain on the left side of my jaw line is over, but last week I had a huge pain and clotage inside my left ear to where I can hardly hear out of it. I went to see my reg. doc. to have him check it out and he could def. See a huge clot o blood inside my canal. He has put me on dome dropes to soften and lossen the clot to use 4x a day as well as a nasal spray to help get rid of the clot from the other side. I want to know if anybody else has had this problem and how long it took to  go away. I saw my reg. nero. that Thursday for the 1st time since the surgery for my reg. check up and told him about it. The outside pain is not as bad as it was that Monday, but I had him take a look at it was well. Him and his attending both told me that that can happen due to the simple fact that my ear is just underneath where the cut open my skull and just told me if I notice any swelling or strange feelings to call the Neurosurgeon immediatly.  I just want to know if anybody who has had this done had that same problem and how long it took for the blokage go away. Thanks!
