I don't know what is it and I never had this before.
I am a Diabetic person since 5years,taking matformin,500/2×day and voglibose.3mg/2×day.
Am having hypothyroidism also taking 50mg tab daily early morning.
Having Arthritis problem with joints but not taking regular medicines of it.
Will appreciate if you can able to diagnose what is this new symptoms and is it serious? Can I bear it for another 4 months? As am in USA now,will be back on in early June 2108.
Please help and.guide me.
Thanks and best regards

Your symptoms are suggestive of temporo Mandibular joint dysfunction on left side which usually occurs secondary to dental problems. Since is is situated very close to ear, symptoms get referred to ear. Usually it will resolve with simple measures such as soft diet, hot compresses etc.
