More often than not I wake up, having been sleeping on my left side, with my left ear in pain, and hurting to the touch?
To make the pain go away I press on the middle bit in the ear.
You know what i'm talking about...
Why does it happen? It's not pins and needles.

Go and see your GP.
None of that.
My pillow is pretty hard. That might be why I suppose.
How do you know it is none of 'that'?
It's probably a bit obvious, but does it happen with the right ear if you sleep the other side ?
Not that it matters - I still don't know the answer - it happens to me sometimes and is very painful
Do you put your head under water a lot, or get shower water in your ears, sometimes it gets stuck in little crevices, and can really hurt, it feels like loads of tight pressure is inside.
DISCLAIMER - I am not a Dr, my advice is just an opinion
Very uncomfortable though.
Yes, it's a sort of 'squashed gristle' thingy. It is thru' lying awkwardly on your ear. Maybe the 'gristle at the back of the ear gets bruised.
I have had that in my time...come to think of it I have had most little oddments and ailments in my time!
