Anyone diagnosed with Eagles Syndrome: Where and what treatment?

I was diagnosed with bilateral ES approx 2 years ago. I was referred to to the University of Minnesota and saw Dr. Hamlar. We made the decision to try a more conservative treatment which consisted of manually fracturing the styloid on the right side. It was a same day procedure and the results for me are great so far. It actually felt like my entire jaw was shifted back into place. We haven't done anything on the left side as the symptoms so far are mild. Time will tell.

Thank you, may I ask what your symptoms are or were?
The Mayo Clinic has it on a list of diagnosis that I thought was Occipital neuralgia because my pain follows that path. I am being treated for structural/ arthritic pain with inflamation at C1 C2. So far I have had an injection at C2 Dorsal Root Ganglion and I am scheduled for another. If it does not help then they will look at ES as causing the symptoms. How did they fracture your syloid?
Currently I have a stabbing pain in my throat when I reach or bend over and then it lingers when I swallow for about 30 minutes.
