On Saturday I had Septoplasty and sinuplasty. Since Sunday I have been in excruciating pain that radiates from my front upper right teeth up to my septum. On Sunday was given a Tramadol injection and have been prescribed high dose Tramadol to take home but it only lasts for one hour before the excrutiating pain is back. My surgeon said he thinks it's tooth related but I went to a dentist & had xrays and they can't see anything wrong. Please help - does anyone know what might be going on?
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.
Directly after the surgery my airflow felt nearly perfect. Of course, a few hours later I was completely swollen and had 0 airflow. Now the swelling has gone down a bit and I am getting some airflow but only through one nostril or the other and it switches back and fourth. Sometimes I get air through both but it is not as clear as when only one is working. Is it possible something went wrong or is this normal?
After breaking my nose I had a septoplasty/rhinoplasty 3 days ago. My surgeon took my splint off early b/c he needed to leave on vacation. He said it looked good & to follow up in 5 weeks. Today, while holding a friend's toddler, he threw his head back/accidentally popped my nose on the end. it hurt & bled for a while then stopped. Is it likely that the results are compromised? Is there anything I can do to help mitigate the damage/situation?
I got a septoplasty done Tuesday and it is now Friday. On Wednesday he took out the packing, and for a little bit after I could breath but now one nostril is completely clogged and the other one is mostly clogged. Also I've been doing the neilmed sinus rinse and it only comes out of the same nostril or my throat, not the other side. I know it says it takes like 2-4 weeks to be 100%, are these symptoms normal? My doctor is out of town so my next follow up isn't for 9 more days.
My appointment is on the 7th day to remove but having a lot of problem breathing through my mouth. I think ive caught a cold/flu after the second day. Breathing is getting worse even with the medication. Having a panic attack trying to breath. Called the hospital to book an appointment for earlier date but none was available. What should i do? Getting really scared over breathing during the night. Should i go to the ER and ask to remove the splints? I think im losing it right now....
I am experiencing an unusual (for me) but enduring headache and pressure, from behind the nose, above and behind the eyes and pressure and pain inside the ears. (Also, for several hours after the procedure, if I leaned over to pick up something off the floor, I would get an intense pressure in the head and nose bleeds.) Is any of this normal? Did I cause damage by leaning over after the procedure? Symptoms aside, when is it ok to weight lift, be in the sun, or play non-contact sports? Thank you!
I had septoplasty 3 days ago. I know coughing is common with this surgery and thinking maybe because they also had issues getting the tube down so may be added irritation. My coughing has been constant for 3 days straight similar to how I feel when I have strep throat. But I was told if I snore normally that it will be increased during this time. After the healing process will my snoring most likely go away? This made me nervous to hear since I was hoping it would be resolved with this surgery.
