Hi, I have been reading this forum for quite a while since my ES diagnosis half a year ago. All the tips and experiences have been really helpful to me. Though I decided to share my own experience as well and say thank you to everyone who shared their‘s in order to help others. I had surgery last week to remove my styloid process. I am pretty amazed with the fact that I could go home after surgery without staying in the hospital. I felt pretty weak for the first few days after surgery but pain was very manageable with the medication I got. Recovery from this surgery is definitely slow process but I am happy I took this step and look forward to see how ES symptoms will improve after recovery from the surgery. Thanks for all the pre and post surgery tips and experiences. Chi-Chi ---

Thank you for your post, chi-chi! I’m glad your surgery is done. Healing can take awhile, sometimes even up to a year for nerves to recover. Be patient & listen to your body - rest when it asks & your recovery will go more smoothly. Do you mind sharing who did your surgery? ---

I did my surgery with Dr. Samji. I had a couple of appointments with him while deciding if I should have the surgery and he was very patient and understanding in answering all my questions. ---

I have mine with Dr. Samji tomorrow. Did he let you see the styloid or take a pic or anything? I forgot to ask about that and didn’t know if I will see him tomorrow morning or not. ---

You’ll need to ask to see the styloid post op. He typically doesn’t offer to show it to you but will do so if you ask. ---

I want to ask him during my post op appointment if they took a picture. I did not think about this before hand. All the best for your surgery tomorrow !
