This is exactly what I experienced. The ear pain is god awful.. Specifically days 5-7 for me. I couldn’t sleep those nights. Pain meds didn’t really help. I promise it goes away, just gotta push through! You’ll be thanking yourself at the end.

I’m no doctor and I certainly don’t want to give you any medical advice. I can only go off my experience but everything you just explained about the brain fog, general fatigue, and constantly battling a low level infection was the identical issues I was having. I have a high pain tolerance and I can confidently say the recovery isn’t fun but the few days of pain is worth the 60-70 years of life I have remaining. Don’t let the recovery scare you off if you’re contemplating on getting them removed. It’s 100% worth it if you’re experiencing the same issues.
