Other - maybe not quite the same thing, but I have an intermittent chronic problem where I can get a pain near/around my ear which can be extremely painful (but is usually just a little annoying). There's nothing wrong with my ear (the pain seems to be transferring from somewhere else, it feels like it's on the surface as well). I'm not sure what it's connected to, though. Doctors can't explain it or help. It may be related to my jaw (I sometimes catch myself holding tension in my jaw). Or, perhaps, some neck-related nerve pinch/imbalance (my wife read something about "trigger points" in the neck which sounded like what I have, though the solution wasn't clear from that either).
Come to think of it, I also used to have a problem where I'd get pains on the back of my upper leg(s). It was especially bad when I first got up after sitting down. I first got it about 10 years ago, I think. It was diagnosed as sciatica. The problem originated with my lower back, nothing to do with my legs, but the sciatic nerve connects to the legs. Anyway, that problem got solved by exercise. If I walk regularly, the problem goes away. So, that's what I've done for many years now. |

No. I've heard of this, although I don't know if I know anyone who has it. |

Yes, it happens often actually, and it ususally stems from my feet. My neurologist says it has come from years of running, and he suggested that I stop...Then I looked at his fat ass and suggested he started. Oh well, maybe I'll die in peak condition. |

I have sciatica. It seems to get worse in the hours after exercising, when I'm resting. |

There is this closet in my mom's house. It is the furthest place in the house from the bathroom. It's filled to the brim with my childhood board games and books. Ever since I can remember, that room makes me need to pee.... like immediately, beyond the point of holding it NEED-TO-PEE.
I know that's not what you meant. |

Yeah, I guess there can be many potential causes of sciatica. I'm lucky that I found a for mine. Though, I have to admit, I tried various things before I came to realize I just need to walk more. I seem to recall sciatica is more common in women, perhaps related to the effect being pregnant can have on the back. Have you talked to a doctor about it? I got the walking advise from a physical therapist that I got sent to. I also saw a chiropractor for a while, and that seemed to help, but only temporarily. |

No, this has never happened that I remember. |

I talked to a doctor, who prescribed physical therapy. I never went though, because I have no one to watch the kids. |

Whenever I set up for perfect comfort, or even think about perfect comfort, first thing I need to do is pee. You can't have perfect comfort with even a tiny bit in your bladder. |

I'm the same way.... but then, I get up at least twice per night to pee also. I don't even know what perfect comfort feels like for very long. |

I have the ones described in the explanation.
I have a theory that nerves actually work like wires in a keyboard, in a lattice, where nerves are shared by different body part to save on wiring, and context of other nerves indicates which part is really sending a signal. |

No, it is usually "directly" connected............. Like I lift my arm to wash my armpits in the shower and get a sudden pain in my neck |

I've had that on my leg and neck. T'was weird, very weird. Explainable, but still weird. I've never gone to an acupuncturist and I don't know if I'd ever get up the nerve (hee, hee) 'cause of the needles. I'm told you don't feel them, but yikes. |
