Sinuses- Concha Bullosas

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'd posted on the subject of turbinate injections a while ago. I had

the 3 shots, but they didn't do very much. Today, I saw a new dr. who

specializes in just sinuses (this is my 5th ENT). I've had chronic

maxillary sinusitis for over 7 months now. I do feel better than last

fall but it's still not going away. He said that my concha bullosas

are very large and they're blocking the passages. I also learned that

the thickening of the mucosal wall started well before the horror show

I caught last July and that it's probably going to get worse. He saw

my sinuses thru a camera- I saw it on a tv screen. He wants to

complete the surgery to correct this defect. He looked at my scans

(I've had 3), compared each one and actually said that the problem is

getting worse. None of the pills, shots, steroids got to the root of

the problem. Has anyone had this done before and did it work? The

strange this is that before I caught that sinus infection last July, I

noticed I began getting sinus headaches without any sneezing, watery

eyes, etc. for afew years I'd say. Maybe he's right. Just don't know

anymore. He said he's performed thousands of sinus surgeries w/ a 90%

success rate. He seems to know what he's doing. I'm 42 and in decent

shape, used to go to the gym (member for 16 years) but energy so low

had to stop, I eat a very healthy diet.

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this.
