I have been having following symptoms:- Pain in Ear, blocked nose, clicking sound when opening mouth, pain on right side of neck and whenever I bend my neck downwards. After consulting my doctor he asked me to get an xray which said that I have elongated styloid process, doctor prescribed me some medications to ease my neural pain, it stopped but after two weeks it started again. He also said that it is a rare condition and if it affects you, you should get a surgery done. I just wanted to ask that is the surgery safe and is there any ENT specialist who has done this procedure since it is quite rare?
