The coughing fits sound awful, poor you, especially with a little one to take care of…
In the Newbies Guide Section, there’s info about surgery, and as @Andy89316 mentioned, there’s a list of questions in there which you could ask your doctor to see if you feel comfortable with her doing the surgery:
ES Information- Treatment: Surgery - Welcome / Newbies Guide to Eagle Syndrome - Living with Eagle
It may be that she’s done quite a few surgeries and is competent, but definitely a good idea to check that out and if not see one of the others on the list- it’s impressive that she was aware of ES & could diagnose you, some members have tried dozens of out doctors and taken years to get ES confirmed!
Let us know how you get on
