Every winter I suffer with chronic sinusitis and each year it is getting worse. At the moment I experience 2-3 attacks a day, mostly in the evening and through the night which I am sure is related to the electric heating. The pain is so bad it wakes me up each night. I am currently taking steroids as advised by my GP. I have a very deviated septum which makes breathing and talking almost impossible. Will a Septoplasty help reduce the sinusitis, headaches and feeling of constant pressure?
My left turbinate has been swollen shut since my septorhinoplasty 10 months ago. I reached out to my surgeon and he prescribed me a nasal steroid spray. It did nothing. Went back 2 more times he told me its allergies. Got a second opinion and got lucky and got a same day appointment cause someone canceled but unfortunately that morning (before I called) I used a decongestant spray so the doctor literally did not believe that it was swollen. (No I do not use the spray often hardly once a month)
I know I have a perforation—I want to know what it could be that there is something that slides back and forth within the perforation. I feel it when I am clearing my nose with a Q-tip because my nose is dry and unable to blow my nose. I have sjgren's syndrome, and it is difficult clearing my nose, and I know I must have caused damage. I also used steroid sprays because of chronic congestion and the need to clear my nose because I have to use a bi-pap machine for chronic obstructive apnea.
I had a septoplasty and tip work done about 14 months ago. Everything looked great until November, when a small pea size lump was felt and seen (a bit) in the tip of nose. I had many steroid injections, to no avail. Last week, my surgeon made a small incision inside the nostril to cut out scar tissue. Everything was smooth until a week later. I can now feel and see (a little) the lump. He ordered a MRI which found nothing in the cartilage department. Thoughts?
I've asked this question before, but I'm now 14 months post op, so want to revisit. I had a revision septorhinplasty last year. It did not go well. My PS caused a buttonhole, my nose is bigger than ever & I can now barely breathe, however the thing I'm most upset over is the large visible bump next to my buttonhole scar. My PS injected it with steroids a few times, but that did not seem to help. I have a follow-up appointment soon, but want some other thoughts too...what could this bump be?!?
Hi, I have had some difficulty recovering from a septorhinoplasty about two months ago. A steroid shot in the turbinates helped a fair amount. Is it OK to use a prescribed steroid nasal spray over these next months as I heal? Does it compromise cartilage (or anything else)? Thank you!
I am having severe roof of mouth pain since my surgery and it seems to be getting worse instead of better. I have spoke with my surgeon and he put me on 10 days of steroids. Tomorrow is my last day and those have done nothing. The only way I can describe it, is a burning pain behind my upper front teeth. Please help???
