@Hopee - My head tilted to the right but I didn’t notice it until I was recovering from my ES surgeries. It has straightened out some over the years since my surgeries. I have slight scoliosis that developed after I became an adult so that may have contributed to my head tilt. For a long time my right shoulder was also slightly lower than my left but I believe they are level now. I can’t tell you for sure that ES was the cause of my head tilt & shoulder drop. I have been working on improving my posture so it’s possible that has contributed to my body straightening out. It’s possible ES played a role in my head tilt/shoulder drop because the nerves affected by elongated styloids can cause uneven muscle tension, & when side of the body is tighter than the other, things like a head tilt & shoulder drop or elevation can be the result. > [@1 month post op external surgery with Dr. Slavin](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/1-month-post-op-external-surgery-with-dr-slavin/508/5): > > I recently had a shortening of my right styloid internally. I definitely have facial, neck and shoulder weakness on my affected side. Dropped shoulder, dropped eyelid slightly, tongue deviation to right side. I haven't had any relief from these yet (only had surgery 2 weeks ago) but I also suspect that if nerve impingement has caused these symtoms in me, that it is likely that not enough of the process was taken out to relieve it in ym case. Am going to try some pretty intensive physio for a few… > [@Hopee](#): > > Has anyone gotten diagnosed with eagles with just brain fog, feeling slow and lazy in general, bad posture, even though long styloids, but no ear issue or like throat issues? Yes people have been diagnosed with ES with no ear or throat symptoms & have had surgery. Here is a link to a post about possible ES symptoms so you can check to see if there are some you have that you didn’t think ES could cause: > [@ES Information: Common Symptoms And Possible Explanations For Them](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/es-information-common-symptoms-and-possible-explanations-for-them/1389): > > ES Information: Common Symptoms And Possible Explanations For Their Causes: Disclaimer: These answers to common questions were put together for new members to gain a head start in finding information about Eagle Syndrome; to give you confidence to discuss issues with your medical team and to encourage you to research issues further for yourselves.
