What's the success rate for surgery on an elongated styloid process compared to non-surgical treatments? I've been dealing with pain and wondering if surgery is worth it or if other options might work better

Even though some literature suggests that Eagle Syndrome can be successfully treated by non-surgical treatment, studies show that the cure rate of conservative Eagle Syndrome treatment is only 64.3%, compared to styloidectomy which has a cure rate of 91.8%.

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort when swallowing, particularly on the right side near my Adam's Apple. It's not a constant pain, but it sometimes feels like a lumpy soreness throughout the day, especially when I gulp. I have a moderate cough and notice I'm spitting more often. Last month, I had a cold and sore throat and was advised to take Azithral and ClavamXR by my GP. I've also stopped working out for about a month and it feels like I'm gaining weight. Could you offer some advice or insights into what's going on?
