Bleeding from my ear

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am 5 years post op from my surgery and yesterday morning I woke

up with blood running out of my cholesteatoma ear. It has been

bothering me for about 2 weeks, hurting and it feels full and like

something is in there. I called my regular DR since my ENT is about

an hour away and I was able to go right in. He looked in there and

said that the bleeding was coming from my mastoid cavity but really

couldnt tell much since there was soo much blood. But told me that I

needed to see my ENT, so he has his nurse call to my ENT office and

get me an appt. The ENT office called me at home about an hour later

and told me that my dr was off on vacation but the dr on call said to

continue to use my Ciprodex drops and if I had any more problems to

follow up with my dr the next week. I told that nurse. DO you realize

that blood is pouring out of my ear. I was not making it up

either...it was literly running out of my ear. Bright red blood.

Scared the shit out of me and I am a nurse. I went ahead and made an

appt for next week to see my ENT but I am totally freaking out that

my ear is bleeding. And it still is. Everytime I use my drops it

starts up again and then just runs out of my ear. I was wondering if

anyone had ever had this happen to them or anything like this. Do you

think the my cholesteatoma has came back??? I really hope not I dont

want to have that surgery again. I hate goin to the ENT ..I hate the

sucker thing it makes me sooo dizzy, I have to take someone with me

to my appt so they can drive me home. My semi-circle canals are

exposed in my mastoid cavity so any change in air pressure or temp

will make me dizzy, and when I use my drops it makes me dizzy also,

and It doesnt matter if I warm them up first either.

Well any feedback from anyone would be great.!!!!!

Thanks
