So, he had the sinusus above his eyes obliterated, they don't exist anymore. Then he had drain channels put into the sinuses in the cheeks, and finally he had a rhinoplasty on the nose, bacause like you, his nose was messed up. It all really helped! He had to have the cheek sinuses redone about 20 years later (done first in 1982, redone in 2000). He's probably had 1-2 sinus infections since 1982. |
Wow that sounds painful. This is the first time I've had pain & pressure last like this ever. Usually it only lasts a day or two & it has something to do with the weather. I usually don't have any problem with drainage, just this time. If it doesn't go away by thurs. I'll probably call my doctor & see what he thinks.
