A member asked:
I am having sharp pain on the left ear at base of skull, at 1 or 2 places, there's no bulging but on touching it i do feel pain.

Depends: Maybe pain due to an issue internal to the ear, muscular tension near the base of the skull (most common), tmj, referred pain from another site. Seek out medical care if it does soon.
