Ear, eyeball pain for three month's

I've had these pains in my ear and eyeball on the right hand side of my face. The pain is not enough to take pain killers, a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. It first started with the pain in my ear then went to my eyeball. I've been under extreme stress for 7 months. I had a MRI in early December because I was having balance issues. The MRI only showed up a tiny pineal cyst. 

Is it possible that I've got a brain tumour in  2 months? I have a MRI on Sunday coming, and I'm terrified. 

I've been through several cancer investigations in the past 7 months. CT scan of my pelvis up to my chest. Endoscopy, colonoscopy and blood test. Nothing came up, apart from me having gastritis and several nodules on my lungs. I had to wait several weeks for the result of the CT scan. Then I had to wait 3 months for the follow up scan on my lungs which showed they had disappeared. 

Could stress be causing my symptoms?

  • Hi Stikeyv,

    It's good to hear that you have an appointment coming up soon. I know that the uncertainty and waiting is difficult to deal with.

    It's difficult to advise on your situation, but hopefully it won't be long to wait for the results following your appointment.

    Take things a day at a time and keep busy to try to take your mind off the worries as much as possible.

    Wishing you all the best,
