So sorry that you have symptoms again- it would be interesting to see your CT & look at the styloid length…there are a few reasons why you’re getting symptoms,:
- Not enough of the styloid was removed initially (possibly you know that not as much styloid can be safely removed with the intra-oral surgery), & perhaps with time/ aging it’s enough to cause symptoms again.
- There could be regrowth which does occasionally happen after surgery. It may be that the doctor who reviewed your new CT isn’t aware that the width and angle can play a part in causing problems, not just the length.
- It could potentially be scar tissue causing problems- some members have had this, & tried treatments such as cold laser therapy for treatment, you could search for that in the past discussions.
- Elongated hyoid bone processes can cause issues, we’ve had a few members with hyoid bone syndrome who have gone on to have surgery. Again you can look up past discssions, but here’s one (the member’s had a bit of a complicated journey with MVD surgery, but might be worth you looking in to seeing Dr Chetri)
