View Full Version : Sinus Endoscopy - helpful or not

I'm scheduled for Sinus Endoscopy surgery (including straightening of right septum & removal of cyst from left frontal sinus) next month. I've had pretty much a daily habit of Excedrin for about 10 years. If I don't take anything at onset, it develops into fullblown migraine. This has happened only twice. But, the headaches are daily. Tried every med under the sun for migraine, but nothing works. My ENT tried to get me to do this 5 years ago, but finally after working through everything else, a neurologist encouraged the surgery since the cyst fills up the entire sinus. I'm wondering if anyone out there has had the surgery & if removing the cyst helped in eliminating chronic headaches. kd

When I had mine done I wished that I had done it WAY WAY sooner. It's been a godsend to me; I had mine done this past December.

I had it done 2 summers ago. At the time I was getting almost daily headaches. It has changed my life. It was the best thing I ever did. Now I still get migraines, but usually only hormonal ones around my period.
