I do get severe pain on descent though not above my eye.
It feels rather like someone is jabbing red hot needles into my ears. It is pure agony!
Doesn't end there. Once landed I lose some of my hearing (my hearing is muffled) for several hours until the tubes in my ears "pop". Again this popping is agonizing - feels like someone is slowly pulling the tubes open.
This wasn't always the case with me as I was fine during my teen years. On recommendation of a doctor I tried a nasal decongestant an hour or so before flying. This has more or less resolved the problem, so long as I take the decongestant before each flight.
On another note, don't get me started on air sickness! Again I was fine during my teens, but from then on I couldn't do a longhaul flight without taking airsickness tablets beforehand
Just the smell of the meal being prepared in the galley was enough to send me rushing to the lavatory.
So my travel bag always contains a nasal decongestant spray, along with a box of airsickness tablets.
