Subj: Re: [kl] pain when playing
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 16:01:36 -0500

Sounds like your sinus. Have you gone to your Dr.?? Or just try some over
the counter remedies. Some people use the ear plugs when they play.... IF
you can breath alright... it is probably in your inner ear.....estation
(sp) tubes. They go right into your throat... inner ear infection, or
maybe allergies.....(this was my problem)...
Claratin D worked for me. But sometimes, when the trumpets start
blowing.... my left ear starts buzzing.... I just put a little cotton in
the canal.... and it is alot better.
Hope you get the buzz out....
