Hi again Rob, yes, I too have disc problems. Both cervical and lumbar.I've been going to a chiropractor for many, many years now - keeps me away from the surgeon! No diabetes, HIV or cancer that I've ever been diagnosed with. Like Scott, I suffered with migraines. I still get severe headaches that wake me up early in the morning, sometimes with a very painful earache from sleeping on the ear. hmmmmmmmm

Fairly certain is has nothing to do with drinking. I personally do not drink alcohol. It may be neurological and related to stress. It seems that my ears, one or two, become most irriated when my emotions get the best of me. As brutus mentioned above with the ruptured disk in his neck, I too have disc problems. I have a par's defect (slipped disk + fractured verterbae) in my lumbar (lower back). Curious to see if anyone else has something similar. Also, does anyone with this red ear condition have any types of other conditions such as diabetes, HIV, cancer, etc. I personally do not have any of the mentioned but maybe the red ear syndrome (RES) is an early tell sign of something. Look forward to the comments. P.S. Thank you for the direct comments J!

Am 56 years old and have had red ear experiences as long as I can remember. Have Hepatitis C, bulging cervical disc, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunctions, etc., etc.. I have a friend who also has red ear problems and she has thyroid dysfunction, also. I Dont't drink or smoke (used to). Am sitting here now with 2 bright red, painfully hot ears and am glad I found ya'll... Doesn't help my ears but I'm glad to hear I'm not all by my lonesome!!
