Had sinus surgery for deviated septum and narrowed sinus areas 6 days ago. Stitches are still there (dissolvable) but I still have a lot of pain. Feel better with pain meds but cannot take at work.

Answer: Post Operative Nasal and Sinus Surgery Questions Most nasal and sinus surgery patients return to work within 7-10 of surgery and do not require narcotics for pain relief. Sometimes Tramadol or Tylenol offer patients a nice transition so that normal work activities can resume. Dissolvable sutures may take up to 6 weeks or more to disappear, so this sound normal. If you continue to experience significant post operative pain, discomfort or fever, see your physician for an evaluation. Sometime the nose and sinuses need periodic office based examination and cleaning by the physician. This should improve airflow and decrease discomfort too. Hope this reply helps.

Answer: Time away from work after sinus surgery Hi, 10 days after sinus and/or septal surgery under general anaesthetic is about normal. Six days and still feeling a bit sore is about par unfortunately. I'm hoping to drastically reduce time away from work after some endonasal procedures.
