Mr Axon is excellent- he did both my surgeries- but he does have a very long wait time, and also seems to have his hands tied at the moment to who he can do surgery for, a few members with complicated cases have been turned away after review by a surgical board.

There’s info about symptoms & what could be causing them in the Newbies Guide Section if you’ve not had a chance to look at that yet, & also vascular ES & the symptoms you can get with that, here’s a link: [ES Information: Common Symptoms And Possible Explanations For Them - Welcome / Newbies Guide to Eagle Syndrome - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/es-information-common-symptoms-and-possible-explanations-for-them/1389) I used to get head & ear pressure which would worsen through the day & be bad in the evening, or if I did any exercise or was stressed.
