Seriously though, it's the worst, and it's pain you can't relieve since it's inside your ear. You just keep stupidly pressing your hand, a pillow or anything against the side of your head in a vain hope that it might lessen the pain. It doesn't. Mine lasted about a week. Worst week of my entire life, painwise.
