@kathy513, Hello. In 2017, I suffered with increasing one-sided ear/throat pain, I was diagnosed with Eagles Syndrome (ES). This, after several nasal endoscopies (NE) produced numerous false diagnoses. After insisting on a CAT Scan with scan reluctant doctors, (one doctor insisted I "Did NOT have cancer) the diagnoses came back ES. Praying to our creator for an answer, finally produced the truth. Praying gave me the definite feeling that ES was not my problem.
How several radiologists can read a CAT Scan and get it so wrong is suspicious, to say the least. Finally, an Indiana University ENT did another NE and saw the tumor down by my vocal cords. Again, how several prior doctors and several NEs produced conflicting and wrong diagnoses is very disappointing. This University ENT performed the same exact NE as the others had done, yet he saw the tumor immediately. The tumor of the "Pyriform Sinus" was extremely visible on the scan, which was shown to me on the medical device screen.
So, obviously my advice to anyone with these diagnoses, is to continue on with second, third and even fourth opinions. The ES diagnosis may just be a "grasping at straws" diagnosis.
If you are interested, there is much of my journey written in my profile posts. To clarify, the other diagnoses were everything from "arthritis in the neck," to "needing a tonsillectomy." I do not even have tonsils.
