Hi Lisa. The CT scan showed that I have bilateral stylohyoid ligament calcification. My right side (which is much more bothersome than the left) is actually 1.1cm longer than the left side (1.6cm vs 2.7cm).
I’m looking to get a consult with Dr. Samji in San José, CA to get the surgery as my symptoms hace gotten progressively worse. They are: pain in throat, pain inside ear, pain behind ear and down neck and back, pain in jaw that is also extending up to my face/eye socket. All is this on the right side.
Question: does anyone know if the surgery can be done on both sides on the same day?
Keep pushing for the diagnosis, fellow ES crew! ❤️

Hello,
My name is Lisa and I just happened upon this website searching for information on Eagles.
I was meant to see this post ! I too have Bilateral calcification and have experienced very similar symptoms, I recently saw Dr Samji in SanJose CA (4hr drive from my home) I paid out of pocket for a consultation and am battling my insurance company.
Dr Samji diagnosed me with ES officially stating that my styloid is the longest and thickest he has seen.
Boy I feel special! Haha
He said that the left would be removed first than the right 3 months later. I’m very nervous about the surgery which is scheduled this November.
I found his name by chance on anES support group I chanced upon one day and liked that he had done 400 styloidectomys.
Seeing his name pop up again has made me feel so much better.
PS
Any input on Dr Samji or other Doctors who perform this surgery?
