I got swimmers ear over the weekend I guess, it wasn't really bad till last night, used some ear drop stuffs. Woke up this morning at 6, put ear drops in to kill pain and sat in bed with my ear throbbing for an hour till school. Went to school, then left at lunch to go home instead of going to a waterpolo game in La Jolla. Add to that the fact that I got uppercutted in the jaw by another waterpolo player during practice and both my actual jaw where I got hit and the hinging part on the left side is hurting, and you can see I'm not exactly a happy camper. /rant

 

ugh. Dude, that sucks. Sorry STP - get well soon

 

and here I am complaining about my PPD

 

 

I've got music going and the ear drops numb most of the pain, so its not to bad, its only when they start wearing off when it really sucks

 

but the damn eardrops leak out :grrr:

 

Go see a ear, nose, and throat doctor ASAP -- today. You probably have water in your middle ear. He or she can suck in out and you will get instant relief. Also, if there's an infection, you may need antibiotics. I used to get this all the time from scuba diving. It can really screw up your balance.

 

Urghhhh Get better soon STP!!!

 

yeah what raptor said. if water's in there and it gets inted you could go deaf in that ear, it happened to my freshman geometry teacher. she found out her balance problems by falling down a couple flights of stairs.
