Hi- I was just told that my styloids are 3.8 mm and calcified, and that Eagle Syndrome is a possible diagnosis with more testing needed. I have cervical instability severe at C1-2, and herniation and nerve disruption C4-7. Is the Eagle Syndrome surgery only done in emergency situations and what constitutes an emergency? I am having so many symptoms and so much pain; it is unbearable. Thank you

Welcome @cbsluder18. I moved your post to this existing discussion on the same topic:
– Eagle Syndrome https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/eagles-syndrome/
I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with other members like @cjohansen @ladylove1962 @abby4paige @theeaglehasland @keetee @jenlink and many others, some of whom have had surgery.

...wish I had an answer but only hearD about eagle syndrome recently; but in my opinion havING extreme pain that is unbearable should be considered an emergency if cannot be brought under control... relentless pain is horrible and comparing it with such things as life-threatening emergency is sort of apples vs oranges, but has your docor given you a time frame to have the operation? Hope someone will have a better reply for you,....BEST OF LUCK, J.
