Something in my neck is popping out of place

@sophiahenn thank you again! I only come on this when the neck thing happens to. It gives some comfort and I just read everything over and over again. It’s so weird. This is the only place I’ve EVER heard of anyone experiencing the same thing. I’ve been to the doctor and nothing! I’ve even gone into the emergency room when it first started happening but by the time I got back to do x rays, cause they weren’t understanding what I was saying and thought I had a chicken bone in my throat, it had already popped back in.

@haileyhunt234 it sounds like you and others on this forum could have elongated styloid process's or calcified stylohyoid ligaments or both (Eagle Syndrome). It causes all kinds of symptoms depending on what structures it is affecting and is many times positional. Most of the time it is progressive, mine was. There is classic and vascular or a mix of both. You all may want to take a look at the living with eagle forum.
My understanding is the best imaging to get to begin with is CPT Codes 70496 and 70498, CTA head and neck w/contrast that is what I was told to have done by a specialist and did.
It should be noted to specifically to look for Eagle Syndrome and the styloid process's trajectory, length and thickness all matter. And don't be surprised if the radiologist doesn't do that even though it is requested and says nothing is wrong. I know from experience. Just had bilateral styloidectomies and starting to feel so much better.
