stick.....it must be kept in mind it is the PRESSURE of the packing that is
needed to stop the bleeding.When the rubber "finger" is ...

Personally I am considering a deviated septum ONLY surgery.
Could this really be so risky and require a long recovery time?
Any surgery that involves bone is a bit more uncomfortable as to recovery
time. Each person is different in pain level as you know. I had my septum

In 2001 I had sinus surgery and septoplasty, both have helped me
tremendously.  I no longer have sinus headaches or a congested nose, but
since 2002 I have had recurring bouts with vertigo.  My ENT has ran many
tests and I seem to have "a weakness in my inner ear."  I was wondering ...

I have a friend who has had sinus surgery twice.She says she gets best

I'd be interested in hearing more about this excess radiation therapy. As a
child i had a chronic illness that require extensive x-rays done, but no one

Sometimes the only relief for some of us is found in the "big guns" as some

them. Periorbital Cellulitis needs a big gun else it can ...

I had a Septoplasty 12 days ago. This was to relieve my breathing and
itchy throat at night when my head lay on the pillow.
Now doing the usual cleansing treatment etc etc but what I am slightly
worried about is when do you know the OP has worked???? I am getting

Cleveland Clinic "lost" my medical record and CD's of my CT Scans!! Give me
a friggin (can I say friggin here?) break. They referred me to Ann Arbor
because my ENT moved to Florida. Ann Arbor has no records for my upcoming
visit and Cleveland now has no records to send them. Two ...

Is it possible that a deviated septum could cause more problems more during
sleep than while awake ?  How come my nose is so clogged in the morning only
?
FYI my CT scan showed a deviated septum w/ bone spur and polyps, and I am

I've had persistent sinusitis for about 5 years, and have little luck
with irrigation (grossan) or surgery.  I am still puzzled as to whether
my issues are allergy based, infection based, or something else.  In my
quest for solutions, I am thinking of getting an air cleaner.  I've

Let's say a person with no current sinus infection, but
with inferior and middle turbinate swelling, (due to
allergies from inhaled particles), gets a CT Scan done,
should the CT Scan show the swelling?

Hi, does anyone see flashing lights in their vision often because of their
sinusitis?  I was wondering if this is normal.  Thanks

I inadvertently stumbled across the following interesting study.
While healthy sinus cavities are normally thought to be sterile, it

passages to spread into the ethmoid sinuses, by making the ethmoid
