unable to breathe from left nostril, suffered from nasal drip, occasional sinus pain and snoring, decided I would have an ENT doctor look at my nose to see the severity of my deviated septum and after his examination he determined the extent of scar tissue caused by apparent trauma to my nose, septoplasty was recommended

Thanks for sharing! Do you know what the trauma was that caused your deviated septum? Some sort of accident? I hope you'll keep us posted and let us know how your healing process goes.
