Asked By:loriborders in Sacramento, CA

I had Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty 9 months ago and I been having pain and burning inside the nose for about 4 months, it goes way and comes back. So I went to see my surgeon and another ENT doctor for a second opinion and both said that there is nothing wrong in my nose. That maybe the pain and burning is cause of some nerves regeneration. so my question is, how long does this takes for the nerves to regenerate completely?
