Ear pain in adults

   for the last year or so, every now and then i wake in with really bad pain in my ear. i think it happens in either but for the last couple of nights it has been my left. it is that really awful stabbing sharp pain you get with an ear infeection but it only occurs at night time when im sleeping. it wakes me up and i find if i lie on the side that hurts it generally goes away although when it woke me up for the third time 2night it was unbearable and didnt fade off until i got out of bed and i can still feel it quite abit now im up, but not as bad. i dont see how it can be an ear infection when it only happeens when im sleeping on some nights and tends to go away again. ive had my ear checked and they arent waxey r blocked or anything. any ideas? i lose enough sleep being pregnant without this keeping me up too. lol
