I wonder if I’ve had one of these in my eustachian tube that wasn’t picked up on MRI?

At the early stages of my ear symptoms I had a sensation of fluid having collected in my ear every morning. This reduced to a stop after a couple of years. Now I get my left side of my face getting stuck together and almost tearing apart like pulling off a plaster when I open my jaw. Could that simply be dried blood in my eustachian tube from an occasional bleed?

My wife recently got recurrent nose bleeds and it turned out she had one. It was easily dealt with in her nose by a surgeon by cauterisation.

I just happened to search and it turns out they can occur in the Eustachian Tube. How interesting!

So many things that can effect our ears/auditory system/ head…and so relatively little known about it all!
