Do you mean the outside of your ear? I get that if I sleep funny, it's so painful to lift my ear off the pillow and hurts for hours afterwards. I've had that since I was a child, I don't see it as anything to do with aging at all. I have this happen as well. I just need to switch sides, and it usually goes away by morning, or within 30 minutes after I wake up. |

Is it the actual outer portion of the year – like the cartilage that hurts? Or is it an inner ear ache? Because for the past few years, I have had a problem with copious amounts of ear wax. When the wax buildup gets bad enough, it plugs in my ears up at night (whichever side I'm lying on) and when I flip over, fixes that year, but plugs the other one. When I stand up during the day, the wax all drains back down and my ears are no longer clogged. About once a year, I get my ears cleaned out at the doctors office – it's like a spa treatment for me!  The weirdest things happen when you grow old… Inner ear. That must be what it is, because my ears are constantly plugged up. |

This has happened to me -- but only when I used a very firm foam-type pillow. It's like my ear was suctioning to the pillow, getting stuck by suction, whatever. Once I switched from a foam-type pillow, I didn't have the issue anymore.

I have more issues with exterior ear pain. It gets a million times worse when I'm pregnant.. Our bodies are weird!
