ear pain and intermittent throat pain

I just wanted to update that I have been taking the Naproxen and I'm almost done with it and the ear pain isn't as strong as it was, but I'm still feeling it. I'm thinking the doctor might have misdiagnosed me because lately I've been noticing that if I'm outside and the wind is blowing, the ear pain gets stronger when the wind blows through my ear. I have also started experiencing pain in my jaw and actually went to the dentist last week because I thought there was something wrong with my teeth on the lower left side, but the dentist did an xray and didn't see anything wrong. It also continues to hurt underneath my left jaw so at this point I'm really stumped as to what could be going on. I am in the midst of switching doctors so hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will get in to see a new doctor and talk to her about all of these issues.

Hello @amandabanana80 I have had surgery for Eagles Syndrome. It took me a year and a half to get my diagnosis. My styloids were elongated and the ligaments that extend to the hyoid bone were also calcified on both sides so I had a necklace of bone. My left side was the one that was removed and I am hoping that the right side will not become symptomatic. Are you in Minnesota or another state? The website Bens Friends is also a very good resource for many who are living with Eagles syndrome. I was seen by my family dr., dentist, oral surgeon and finally was able to get a diagnosis by getting a CT scan in the ER. The radiologist is the one who diagnosed me. The ENT's in the area said they had only read about it in the medical books and never met anyone who actually had it. I believe in MN there are 2 surgeons that have done this operation. Best of luck to you!
Hi, @amandabanana80 - how are you doing? Have you been able to get an appointment with a new doctor?
