C1 vertebra and styloid ligament surgery

I’m glad you found the site, and you’re not gatecrashing at all- you’ve mentioned that your left stylo-hyoid ligament is calcified- & that is ES, even if you’ve not got a formal diagnosis! (ES can be caused by either elongated styloid processes, or calcified ligaments, or both)
There have been a couple of members who’ve had surgery for compression of blood vessels and/ or nerves between elongated styloid processes & large C1 processes, so you’re not alone, & it is rare…
If stenting isn’t helping, then it would make sense to remove the structures compressing the veins, whether that’s calcified ligaments or the C1 processes.
If you use the magnifying glass icon you can search for anything specific in discussions- I had a quick look & there was this one:

There’s another discussion too- no updates to them though so I’m not sure how the members are doing, but you could try private messaging them to see?
