Subject: Re: Wednesday Chat 02.06.19 by vetteblondie on 2019/2/6 17:39:10 Matt - the surgery I had was to correct a deviated septum then to rebuild a collapsed right nasal valve. I have been unable to breathe out the right side of my nose for quite a long time. It had gotten worse to the point of affecting my health and quality of life. My regular doctor ignored my pleas for help, instead he just kept giving me flonase and strips to use. I needed a permanent solution as this was a physical defect from we guess an old injury. Not an issue with allergies or swelling. My neurologist finally fast tracked this for me recently. Today sinuses are opened up some but my head hurts horribly and nose stings and burns, teeth hurt, everything hurts. I feel like I have the flu. I have some 'ocean water' saline spray prescribed that I'm to squirt up there 2x a day - i expected some sort of rinse but this is what they sent me with . I have some pain meds but trying to get by with acetaminophen 500s instead. I think hip surgery was less painful. Weather here isn't helping, severe storms due in along with tornadoes and such. Have a good day y'all |
