Endoscopic Surgery What to Expect During Recovering Posted: 11-13-05 02:19am
Hi all,
i have had sinus problems for around 10yrs
I am now 29. I have had 3 operations, my
most recent one was 3 weeks ago. It was a
septoplasty with endoscopic surgery. I
want to ask other people that have had
endoscopic surgery did it rectify their
problems and how long did it take.
I am sleeping excellent now I can breath
better, but I still very fatigue and I get
face pressure/pain. My nose is completely
clear which is good. I still feel
stiffness around the base of the skull
neck area. Ringing ears pressure pain
around the ears. My eyes feel strained
and have muscular pain when moving my eyes
worse in the mornings. I am now using
nasonex to prevent polyps but it gives me
a slight bleed nose.
I like to hear what symptoms other people
had and whether they were fixed after the
surgery.

Ben, I had just surgery in 1999. It was
the most painful, yet freeing thing I ever
did. I had spent years with face
headaches and ears popping, etc. Finally
a dentist I had gone to for what I swore
was a root canal, sent me to his ent guy.
They took an xray of my teeth and ended up
catching site of my sinuses. Lucky, I
guess.
Anyway...My face stayed sore for about a
year or so...Mostly when it was cold
outside. Even now, the cold wind will
make my face ache badly. In the end it
was all worth it and I haven't had a
sinus infection since then either. :d

Thanks I don't of any people that have a
has endoscopic surgery. I have lived with
sinus problems for so long I don't know
what is normal or not.
The facial pain is getting better but is
still lingering, it's good to hear it from
someone else.
