Hi. Eagle s/p R sided tonsillectomy and R partial styloidectomy (intraoral) in Feb 2024 but Dr. was not experienced at this approach. only removed 5mm.
Still in pain a year and a half later. Had some success with in-office steroid/lido injection into stylohyoid area but my surgeon won’t operate again and didn’t refer me for further testing. I’ve since seen pain doc and have R medial branch Radiofrequency ablation scheduled for later this month but my symptoms are sever pain that goes down the whole R side of my body down to my feet. I’ve not had any movement-based imaging. I don’t want to go to a doc who doesn’t take insurance. I can’t travel.
Anyone know who in Seattle is doing investigation into these issues?
I’m sure I have movement dysfunction. I’m seeing a new spine surgeon and had MRI of spine (had a prior C5-7 fusion) but haven’t gotten results yet.
It’s been 3 1/2 years, I’m at the end of my rope. I can’t keep living in this pain and working etc. I can’t believe there’s no know ENT surgeon in Seattle who specializes. Futran is on the list but I was told he’s not doing them anymore, but that was last year. Have to figure this out. Thanks for any jnsight
