An elongated styloid process can be treated in 3 ways- 1) Medication- which you are already taking 2) Injection around the area with a local anaesthetic and corticosteroid by an Interventional radiologist. 3) Surgical excision of the styloid process. Good luck.

A calcified elongated styloid process can sometimes give rise to symptoms similar to what you describe, however the treatment heavily relies on painkillers which you’re taking.
