I can't breath out of my nose and feel like my head is a brick. I am popping pain killers ever so often. This was extensive surgery and my ENT did say the swelling was going to be real bad, but i had no idea. It is so tight. I keep putting ice on my face and it does help for about 30 minutes and than I'm swollen again. It hurts so bad. I'm ready to know if my dizziness is going to go away from good. W/my sinus's being so swollen right now I feel a bit dizzy so i don't really know if it is from the surgery or if i am just experiencing the dizziness from before!

Hang in there. We're all hoping that, after you recover, you will really feel great.

The ENT found all kinds of nasty stuff in your sinuses, and fixed it. If you consider that, just a little bit irritation can really make one's sinuses feel like hell, then what you went through had to make your sinuses feel real bad.

I wish you the best and hope that you are able to get some sleep tonight.

true beerzoids. I am getting better an less on the pain killers, so there has been some improvments. Time, time, time is the only thing that will heal me. It hasn't even been a week since my surgery, i just have to remember that!
