Well, I had my revision sinus surgery yesterday, 22 September.
The closest thing to a "smoking gun" yet was a pus-filled mucocele in
the one ethmoid on my left side that had not been operated on in my
prior surgery.  My surgeon removed it and cleaned away all the swollen

  Can anyone recommend a good ENT in San Diego, California?
                               Thank you.

Is this a symptom of sinusitis?  The upper bridge of my nose is very
sensitive to the touch.

Just a general question about Allergies that trigger sinusitis / rhinitis.
If house dust mite is the main trigger, does this mean that the more time
spent outside will alleviate the allergy, or are airborne allergens also
likely to trigger this outside?

I just had FESS on Wednesday.  For irrigation in the post-op recovery
period, has anyone used a Grossan irrigator?  I'm concerned that the
pulsating and vibrating might cause more post-op nosebleed.
So I switched temporarily to a plastic squeeze bottle syringe

for the past 2 years i have gotten a sinus infection with every cold.

however, i didn't want to go there.  i did some research and came up

I've had chronic post nasal drip and sore throat for the past 8 months
which the ct scan showed was caused by a mucous cyst and polyps and

might be getting better but today it seems like it is back again.  I

I have been diagnosed with sinusitis, but do not have any yellow or
greenish nasal discharge.  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced
a similar situation.  Any input is appreciated.

I'm very near the 'renowned' Cleveland Clinic. Live about 28 miles
south of the main clinic center.
Been wondering if a visit there would be advised. Anyone have any
comments about the Cleveland Clinic - how to approach setting things

anyone have an opinion, subjective experience or whatever that using
Naproxen (Alleve) is beneficial in reducing inflammation of sinus
areas?
i've been staying away from prednisone - it's for short term use only

I have had recurrent sinus problems for years, including infections
and a couple of operations that removed plenty of polips.
Over the last year, year and a half, however, everything was going

Don,
you indicated in previous posts that even after your successful sinus
surgery, it took quite a while for your cough to resolve itself.
What do you believe was the reason for this?  Did it take a long time

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my upcoming surgery.  I am the
single Mommy with bad sinuses!
My pre-op paper list the surgery as: Bilateral Endopscopic
Spheno-Ethmoidectomy

Looking for input:
After the latest battery of tests, I had a positive test for atypical
p-ANCA (1:80??). My GP said "could be significant, could be nothing" and
ordered a follow up ELISA test. She did a kidney test which was clear.
