My left nose still feels swelled and unnatural 7 weeks after septoplasty. Air flows are great but would this feeling of swelling goes away? I also have lots of mucus produced that seems to be trapped in the back of left nose.
I had septoplasty surgery to my nose 3 days ago. I was awake for it all but num so u didnt feel much but hear the sound of what was going on which was horrifying. I have the dissolvable packing and they never really told me how long it will be gone or if I can use a SALINE rinse or just a saline spray... they really just did the surgery and sent me out... it was horrible.. please let me know when I should be able to breathe again I am going crazy.
I am due to get a Septoplasty next week. I've been told it will make me feel extremely sick for a week after. Is this true? Or is it the anesthetic? I am very nervous about the operation and would like to know what to be ready for.
My surgeon says my nose looks good, very clean. But I feel as if I have a pretty awful sinus infection - not really something I was prone to before the surgery, which was mainly to correct a collapsed nostril and narrow airway. Not much discharge but just a lot of pain, exhaustion, and a very congested feeling. I read somewhere that this feeling is normal during recovery, but I am 6 weeks out at this point and this feeling is not really getting better. In fact some days I think it's worse.
