Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 38 | I am having some pain also in my right ear, especially when I wake up in the morning. I had my surgery one month ago and attribute the pain to having my jaw open wide during the 6 hour surgery. It is, thankfully, the only consistent pain I have had since the surgery, but also have a pinched nerve in my left trapezious muscle. Have any of you had the burning pain as if a pinched nerve? I am also wondering when I will get more strength in my left arm. The PT gave me some exercises to do, but she said to take it easy as I am still numb from the neck dissection.
