Thanks guys for the advice...I have been going to different docs for the same symptoms for almost 2 years now...let me go in to some details.
I have been going to specialist doctors of neurology and ENT because I have been having severe ear pain, facial numbness, eye pain, headaches, neck pain on the right side of my face. I had an MRI, a non-cancerous tumour on the left side of my brain was detected. I had a brain surgery about two years back to remove the tumour on the left side of my brain the symptoms did not go away even after the surgery they just got worse with time. The docs I consulted after the surgery attributed them to as side effects from surgery.So I was coping with so much pain because I thought that is how it is going to be for the rest of my life.
Now two year after a brain surgery (had no complications fully got the tumour removed. was up and moving two days after the surgery) I had a routine MRI to check the condition of my brain, that is when doc realized they overlooked an infection in my ears and sinuses in the intiail MRIs and CT scan, the tumour on the left side is totally unrelated to the right ear pain, facial numbness, headaches, fainting spells I have been having for the past two years. The infection was the reason for all my symptoms the tumour was just discovered accidently. I don't know how to feel, grtful the tumour got detected and removed before it had the chance to grow but now the doctor's overlook had lead the infection to spread making my symptoms worse. If the antibiotics does not work had to get the ear operated.
