If you occasionally feel pain in the back of your ear, it usually means you have a migraine, a nerve compression, or inflammation in a lymph gland. If you often feel this pain and do not just summarize when you bend your neck, you should see your doctor as soon as possible. Transient pains in the back of the ear can be indicative of infection, vascular disease or blood clotting, which should be referred to your doctor as soon as possible.
