* I never had my mucus examined, shouldn't
that be done prior to surgery? I had one
dose amoxycillian months ago to no avail.
I just don't know if swelling is result of
infection or vice versa.
* is it possible the dr's skill is a
factor in the success of sinus surgery
(deviated septum)? Maybe some do not
create as much scar tissue/do procedures
that cause more problems such as taking
away too much to leave susceptible for
future infections?
* anyone had success with lazer surgery?
* should food allergy/acid reflux be
explored prior to surgery?
* has anyone else gotten more muscular/put
on weight from taking nasal steriods? I
am not on anything else and haven't
changed my lifestyle. My ankles/feet also
swelled up. The ent said this couldn't
happen as it remains in nasal cavity, but
there are blood vessels and I believe some
of it does get into your system. I have
actually exercized less, yet my legs sort
of look like a gymnasts now, my bra is
getting looser, etc.
