Anyone out there that knows anything about eagle syndrome surgery? I have been diagnosed and surgery is an option. It would be nice to find someone who has had this surgery.

Yes I did have surgery in Septembar of 2021 in Idaho state and surgery was like a dream,,before surgery life was living nightmare that can't even describe anyone that like to have more info please send me a private message - will give more info and have pictures after surgery.
Yes I did have surgery in 2021 and if you need more info *** please send me a private message.
Yes I was diagnosed in 2015. I’m stable and will have to have surgery some time. My symptoms are getting worse and it’s no fun. I hate it. I’ve learned to not do caffeine and I have to rest a lot. I take turmeric and ibuprofen at times and do Epson baths.
After suffering for one year with ear and throat pain, I went to several different doctors, having throat-scoping's, exams and x-rays. Doctors concluded I had everything from allergies to Tonsillitis. Disturbingly, my tonsils had long since atrophied away due to age. Once, while in agonizing pain, I went to the Emergency Room (ER) and requested a CT scan. The ER doctor stated, "I guarantee you it would be a waste of money, since you don't have cancer." Finally, yet another doctor finally prescribed a CT scan. After reading the scan, doctors said it must be Eagles Syndrome since my Styloid bones were slightly elongated. The way the pain was increasing. I did not believe this conclusion. Finally, yet another ENT did another scope (just like the others had done) and immediately saw a white patch in my throat. After a biopsy, it was determined to be cancer of the Pyriform Sinus. These are located near the vocal cords in the throat. I will never understand how the radiologists that read the CT scan did not see the tumor, because when the doctor showed me the CT image on his screen it was very obvious. All this to say, do not give up with a few opinions. Go to a University Specialist and get yet another opinion. If I had listened to the radiologists, I would be waiting around with a growing cancer. As it is, by the grace of God, I am alive.

My Wife has had it about 3 years ago. 1 side from the outside. It went well. She has to get the other side done now. Her surgeon does not take our insurance now, so we are trying to find another one North of the Tampa bay area.
My Wifes says she can feel it hit her Hyoid bone. I know your post was from 2018 and I hope everything went well.
