Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Carole Ann, I am almost 4 months post surgery and have been having earaches for the last month. mine i think are caused by wearing bands for so long almost 24/7. i am going to a chiropractor this thursday for him to do some muscle work, as i did talk to my OS about it at last visit and he thinks it is muscular. the earaches are really painful though. katie > > So are ear aches common with upper/lower/chin surgery?
