You’re seeing a very experienced ES doctor. Most of our members who’ve had surgery done by Dr. Cognetti have had really good results. I anticipate you will be one of those. I, too, hope your symptoms will all disappear w/ your styloid(s).
I agree with Isaiah, I’ll just add that no doctor will say for sure if the symptoms will go & how much surgery will help as they don’t want disgruntled patients afterwards. So don’t let that comment put you off!
