My son has had severe neck pain, initially severe neck spams on the right side, overall muscle weakness, fatigue and achiness. He has been experiencing it for 5 months. The achiness still comes and goes. He says it feels like it takes more effort to swallow. He was diagnosed with stylohyoid ossification. We have been to so many doctors with different specialties. We are looking for a physician to work with. If you have a referral, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

@stacybf Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
I'm sorry to hear about your son's symptoms. The internet says stylohyoid ossification is caused by trauma of the cervical and throat region. May I ask if there was an accident or did your son have tonsil surgery?
You said that you were looking for a physician to work with. May I ask if you live near a teaching or research hospital or if your son is able and willing to travel for care? This may help members like @abbyco @sethm007 @christina61 @nrd1 @eastmas1 understand and support you in your search.
