He trimmed the swollen sinus tissue along the sides that block the airway, and removed polups (SP?). I also had a deviated septum so he "fixed" that too. Complete overhaul !!!
Still in agony, and I gotta get back to work tomorrow. |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Don't be afraid to call the Doc and discuss your pain. He may have tips to alleviate it some or at least offer encouragement. If not, you need a new Doc. My 2cents..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I have the Septoplasty and 3 years later I had the Cryo-Turbanectomy. which is similiar to what you had done. Yes it sucks for about 2 weeks but it is worth every moment of the displeasure. |

I had the septoplasty done last year. Everyone told me I was crazy, that I would be miserable for weeks. The worst of it was the first night with the packing in. The next day the packing was removed, I slept on a recliner, it helped me breath better so I could sleep, and I was fine in a bout a week. The pain wasn't bad after about three days I stopped taking the pain meds. I still snore, but I am deffinately sleeping better, and having dreams almost every night, which I han't had in about 10 years.

The deviated septum will take a solid year to heal. It will sound like "crinkling celophane" every time you sneeze.
I had constant sinus problems along with sleep apnea 3 1/2 years ago. They fixed my deviated septum, removed my tonsils, cut my palette and shocked the back of my tounge. It sucked for about 2 weeks, but the pain meds (liquid percs) helped a lot. When it was healing up the stitches started to get feel "scratchy" but they eventually disappeared. It's nice to be able to breathe again.
