I got a septoplasty + turbinate reduction 3 weeks ago. Surgeon took a look at my nose 1 week ago, it looked normal he said. Big issues with drainage/runny nose everytime i just move a bit. Walking around, etc. This is a problem i am a semi pro cyclist, when i ride its gets very runny. Its like i got a huge production of mucus from the nose... Surgeon said to stop cycling, and any activity. But thats simply not an option any longer given its my profession. Is this normal? and what can i do?
Hello, I had my deviated septum reconstructed about one month ago. As the pain and sensitivity has tapered off and I have returned to work, I have noticed a significant boost in my energy levels during the day, particularly in the morning. I have a labour intensive job and have noticed I am not nearly as tired as I usually am. Can this type of surgery have these effects? Is it all in my head? I'm 33 and I cannot remember when I've physically felt this good. I'm 6' tall 190 lbs physically fit.
I am a 59 year old woman contemplating surgery for my deviated septum. My question is in regard to down time. I work a 12 hour shift in a fairly dusty warehouse. I do heavy lifting occasionally up to 30 lbs throughout my shift. We have no light duty work. Can you give me a rough estimate of the time I should take off of work?
I've been planning/dreaming about having a septoplastic surgery when I turn 16(spring, 2016)to repair my deviated septum and to also correct my nose to become more aesthetically pleasing.However, with the concern of school, I don't necessarily want to arrive with black eyes and a brace.(I'm very self conscious and shy.)I'd imagine that summer and winter break are the busiest for this, so when should I plan to book an appointment in order to get a spot?And would I recover before school resumes?
