Just thought I should post a short update to say my left-side final surgery went well! I had severe gastroparesis prior to surgery similar to what was described in the paper by Waldock et al., and had not eaten a single mouthful of food for five days prior to surgery. After surgery I immediately regained the ability to eat.
The deep sharp neck pain from compression is gone, but there is still quite a bit of pain from recovery but I expect to recover in a month or two.
There is a thread already about the Waldock paper. This patient is so similar to me: A case report of gastroparesis resolved by styloidectomy
