Pain 8 days after stapedectomy operation
Posted , 2 users are following.
hi, so i had my ear operation a week ago and the pain and pressure was pretty mild, finished my antibiotics(day 5). day 8 i woke up 1am in pain and as more pressure in my ear possibly swelling and it hurt to open my jaw or move my head from side to side.( i say it felt like a wisdom tooth coming threw my ear) i checked my cotton woll and there was alot more blood than days before. yesterday i went to see a doctor where they cleaned my ear and found a normal amount of blood. He put peroxide around the ear, since then it has started feeling better and the pressure has gone down. day 10 i am stil experiencing loud ringing in the ear and it doesnt really seem as my hearing has gotten any better, hoping that the prosthetic bone hasnt dislodged or the swelling didnt hurt me eardrum...
- has anybody else experienced similar pain after there stapedectomy operation and how did it go afterwards ?
- has anybodies bone become dislodged and what did it feel like ?
I am seeing my doctor again tommorow so i will stay posted with what he says.

Hello Moxhan07 I got stapedectomy surgery on April 6th I feel great! I saw my doctor last Friday the 28th she cleaned remains of dissolving packing and my a ring has increased that I started to cry. I still have 3 weeks to go for full 6week recovery but I can say my surgury had been a success. I didn't experience pain after the 2nd day of surgury no ringing...some pressure due to swelling. Still have slight swelling but still taking drops which I don't like cause feels like I have water in my ear then goes away. Give it time. Remember u have internal healing so give it time. I got results within 2weeks!
God bless

Awsome to hear that your operation went good ! Ok, I went back to the hospital and they had a look. My local gp was cleaning around wound with hydrogen peroxide which is a big mistake as it won't heal with wound or possibly the graft won't hold. So fingers crossed it's stil ok and they didn't put to much in.
When you say you had results with 2 weeks could you hear better even with the gauze and stuffing stil in your ear ?

Hello moxham07
I had a dissolving packing in my ear and it was in for 2weeks...when it was in everything sounded as my ear was plugged i didn't hear a difference which had me a little fearful. But she suctioned out all remaining packing and I felt a HUGE difference...my hearing is way better I can hear everything I couldn't beforeven. I use to have my TV volume up at almost 60 and I can hear everything at 35-40 it's amazing how great this surgury is....u gonna be ok. Time is patience
