I just had a septoplasty and 2 other sinus procedures on Friday, May
4. Everything seems fine but I just sneezed, I totally forgot that I
was not supposed to sneeze. Nothing came out except for clear spray,
nothing hurt. In fact, I only realized that I broke the "no sneezing"
rule when I went to wipe my nose.

Is this OK? Or did I just ruin my surgery?

I have not had surgery but I think the "no sneezing" rule is just to
help your scars heal. Your sneeze may have re-opened the cuts and made
them bleed again, but I don't think it would cause any damage.

Hope you have a quick recovery!

Was the surgery painful?? I'm supposed to have it next month.
