[@hrvojebozanovic]

Where did you do your surgery? Please help info

[@fahadalharbi199]

Hi aprilausdenmoore, how’s your symptoms now? I hope you’re doing great. Do you recommend to perform the surgery to remove the Styloid?

Hello! Thanks for the testimony and all other videos in relation to this. Super insightful. I just missed the nuance towards the end of the video regarding chiropractic resolutions. Should those be avoided?

[@rapmonger]

Chicken or the egg....Does the styloid cause neck issues (C1/C2 and lower like C4/C5) or does the neck issues cause the styloid process to elongate (and/or calcify)?

[@pokenurse1]

I wish we had an office like yours in PA. Everyone has a specialty and nothing meshes. I am figuring out everything on my own. How the arm, shoulder, neck, and jaw all connect and create pain in so many ways

I can relate to all of her symptoms, probably for the last 20 years! I got my right styloid (4.5cm) manually fractured by Dr. Hamlar here in Minneapolis. The styloid is left in there floating, and I guess fascia heals it in place. Doc said if after 6 months symptoms don't resolve, he'll go in and take it out. But he's done 600 surgeries and 85% success rate with the non-invasive route. I'm about 12 weeks post-op & things seem pretty good. I felt so much better at just 3-4 weeks. Back to working out & actually enjoying life again. The best part is, NO MORE MORNING OR EXERCISE-INDUCED HEADACHES!!! I'll get my left side (4cm) fractured next month. I tried prolotherapy twice first to help, and it did with some of the jaw and ear pain - but my symptoms were too severe to maintain with that.

Hi! We are so sorry to hear that you were experiencing this but so glad that your symptoms have relieved and you are feeling better after surgery. Do you mind us asking how the procedure was done (manually fracture the styloid)?

How is the recovery from getting the surgery

I've been suffering over 3 years excruciating headaches blurred vision severe neck pain confusion pressure and ringing in both ears no one in Mississippi has been able to help me I contacted the famous UAB in Birmingham Alabama they think it is called intracranial hypertension I have had no help with pain control after being 24 pain clinics what would you suggest from here

[@Blake-pz7jj]

See Dr. Sunil Patel (MUSC) and get an Upright MRI with Flex/Ext studies. UAB is garbage.

If you live in Ohio, you'll need to find a CCI specializing neurosurgeon near your state, only these kinds of expert surgeons can figure out what's going on with your cervical spine.

[@vickiesmith8409]

Colton I am from Ohio right by Cleveland Clinic they don't seem to know much either Ben 24 pain clinics I have had no pain relief in over 3 years

[@HappyFern07]

What's the CT imaging she is referring to @3 minutes in? Do you have new equipment/ testing as of the last couple of years?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

We understand how important it is to have an accurate diagnosis to create an effective treatment plan! We now have DMX, DDR, cone beam CT, Trans and extracranial Doppler, and ultrasound!

[@HappyFern07]

​@@CaringmedicalProlotherapyAre you now able to perform a CT venogram at your location?

[@jswing9691]

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Kristine, Thanks for the question. Here is a recent video of Dr. Hauser discussing how finding elongated styloids can alter treatment course: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gom2h3qaeqd5kNk Hope it helps. Take care.

Vertigo and the inner ear Have your PCP do an adjustment using your head If they don't know how Find a new PCP 💯
