Tramadol causing headaches, ear pain, jaw pain?

Been taking Tramadol for several ruptures discs and pain from Cervical fusions. I have had lots of headaches with ear pain recently and I'm beginning to wonder if it's from the Tramadol. They're miserable causing my whole left side of my head to hurt and be very very sensitive. Has anyone had this type of problem while taking Tramadol. I didn't take it for several hours and the pain in my head and ear improved drastically. Im confused how something for pain can cause pain if this is the problem. I don't know if I need to ask my doctor to change Tramadol to something else or not..Help! Anyone know anything about this problem??Thank you!!
