So pleased for you that you have a surgery date! The symptoms you describe are common with ES, and hopefully will resolve with surgery! Just be aware if you’re styloids are elongated bilaterally, once one side is removed quite often the other side ramps up, & occasionally symptoms can cross over & cause pain on the side that’s been operated on, so don’t think that the surgery hasn’t helped if that happens…also after surgery, healing can be pretty up & down, 2 steps forward & one back, so be prepared for that! There’s lots of info if you search for ‘what to expect after surgery’, if you’ve not already read those. And lots of success stories too!
Here’s a link to an old discussion about that:
Surgery for Eagles is usually successful! - General - Living with Eagle
I had surgery about 7 years ago- I’d felt pretty ill before my surgery, but felt so much better afterwards, I’m so glad I went through with it. I have a little nerve pain left, but that’s controlled with Amitriptyline, the vascular symptoms are pretty much gone.
I hope others chip in with their good outcomes too!
