From your description of your symptoms, it sounds like you’re having neuralgia/ nerve pain; there are medications which can help with this like Amitriptyline, Gabapentin, Carbamazepine. They can take a few weeks to build up in your system but are worth a try, your GP should be able to prescribe one. Sleeping propped up can be helpful, with lots of pillows or a wedge pillow. Ice packs can help on your neck, or otherwise heat. Some members have tried topical lignocaine or patches, we’ve had some discussions, I’m not sure if we can get these in the UK…
There’s info in the Newbies Guide Section:
ES Information- Treatment: Pain Relief - Welcome / Newbies Guide to Eagle Syndrome - Living with Eagle
Some members have also had steroids/ lignocaine injections into the area, although these don’t always work, and some have tried botox injections or dry needling, but you’d need to research practitioners. Physio can sometimes help too, but again, it would have to be with someone who understands ES as they can do more harm than good…
