All -

I went to see an ENT who had me do a CAT scan and told me that my
turbinates
were swollen (hence why my left nostril is blocked 80% - 90% of the
time).
He also mentioned that I had a little swelling in my sinuses but
nothing
serious.  He hence recommended turbinate reduction.  Note that I have
tried
prescribed nose sprays for years with not much improvement.

I am going to get a second opinion but I just wanted to confirm that
this
sounds like "normal" diagnosis.  I always also wondering if there are
folks
out here who have had the surgery done in the past and what their
results
were.  From what he told me, it didn't seem like a big deal.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
