Diagnose me!

First in one ear, now it has left that ear and moved to the other - a burning dull pain. Imagine someone coated a golf ball with tabasco sauce and shoved it into your ear canal. It's not constant. It hurts more when I move my jaw around; yawning, eating, etc. :(

But damn, it fucking hurts A LOT.

And yes, I know, "see a doctor." Gettin' on that. Just thought I'd poll for answers here first.

Well, actually there's a follow-up on that. Many years later, there was a rumor that the Foo Bird had migrated to some remote areas of the southern Pacific. Thor Lowardall, one of the members of the original expedition immediately mounted an expedition. Over the years he had become obsessed with the Foo Bird, and the thought of seeing one at least (he actually had never seen the birds they found in the Amazon) lit a fire in him that could not be put out.

Many months they traversed the islands in the southern Pacific. Thor had almost given up. He was running out of supplies, when in the distance he saw this small atoll. Approaching it, he realized it was very dangerous to approach because there were great shoals of sharp shallow reef all around the side of it he was on. He was about to give the order to turn around and head for home when he heard the raucous cry across the water... "Foo! Foo!".

He and his assistant dove into the water and started to wade ashore, not heeding the sharp coral. But then a common seal swam by, trailing a sticky brown substance. The assistant got some on him, scraped it off and immediately was deader than a doornail. When Thor realized what happened he just about ran on top of the water back to the boat.

You see, that atoll was far more dangerous--as any seal can plainly foo.
