- Physical features of the styloids besides length can often cause ES symptoms i.e. how thick, curved, pointed, twisted they are, etc. Based on this premise normal length styloids can cause ES. Length is what most doctors look at to diagnose ES which is not an accurate way to assess this syndrome just as requiring a certain symptom or symptoms to be present is not accurate.
We only have a couple of members who’ve had surgery w/ Dr. Magnusson so don’t really know how experienced he is w/ ES. Dr. Cognetti, for example, has been helping members from this forum for over 10 yrs. I would trust his opinion above many others on our Doctors List.
- I was also diagnosed before being sent for a CT scan. It seems some doctors have a better understanding of ES based on symptoms alone than others.
The Doctors List is under the Symptoms & Treatments Category. I keep pinning it so it will show up at the top of the posts but it keeps unpinning & moving further down the list. I’ll work on getting this fixed permanently.
