Soreness, limited breathing and facial pain normal 12 days after surgery?

septolady
I had surgery to correct a deviated septum and turbinate reduction. I notice when I wash my face etc, a certain part of my cheeks causes a reflex to my nose and I jump. Also a lot of sinus headaches with breathing and sneezing as I live in Texas which is known for the pollen, cedar etc which I assume my nose is getting irritated by...and my lip and btwn my nose & lip area is still sore. I have a post op appt in two days. Is this normal? I am supposed to return to work in a week.
