About 12 years ago I was having a swallow study and the radiologist told me I had Eagle Syndrome. He said most people don't have any symptoms from it. I didn't even think of it again until about a year ago when I started having trouble swallowing. I also had numbness and pain on my face, and it felt like I had a foreign body in my ear but I could hear fine. Since then I have been looking for answers. The only speech problem I have is my voice is hoarse and much deeper than it used to be. thanks

oh, I saw 3 ENTs that didn't know what was wrong. Then my doctor ordered a swallow study and when they put the camera down my nose they saw the intrusion. They sent me to the University of Washington Medical Center. I am seeing a otolaryngologist there. She ordered a CT scan and found the problem. Next is a 3D CT scan and more tests. Then, probably surgery.
