Hi @Sara32 - Welcome to our forum! I’m glad you’ve joined us but am sorry for the reason you did!
Here is a link to a post about ES symptoms written by @Jules that will give you a lot of information about the symptoms ES can cause, & what we’ve learned may be the reasons for them.
When a person who has ES has their styloidectomy(ies) done by a surgeon who is very experienced w/ ES surgeries, the outcomes are usually good giving relief from the symptoms or at least noticeable decrease in them. The other thing to note is that it can take a year for the nerves that are irritated by the styloids to recover. Usually by 6 months after surgery, there is very good progress in nerve healing, but some symptoms may hang on for longer. That is to say that recovery from a styloidectomy does not usually give instant results in stopping symptoms, however that doesn’t mean the surgery hasn’t worked.
We have the names of two doctors in your country who do ES surgeries but we don’t know much about them. In case you haven’t seen them on our Doctors List, I am including them below. Many of our members have had to travel quite a distance & in some cases outside of their countries to see doctors who are experienced ES surgeons. If you choose to see either of those listed below, I hope you don’t have to travel too far.
•Dr. Vladimir Bedekovic, KBC Sestre Milosdrnice, Zagreb
•Dr. Miroslav (Mirko) Ivkie, KBC Sestre Milosdrnice, Zagreb
