Nasal Polyp

I have a nasal polyp in my left nasal. My sinus are completely blocked. The polyp is now growing. If I tilt my head back, I can see it in the mirror. I do not have insurance, I have had 5 steriod shots and 5 RX of Predizone just this year alone..I have put on 40 pounds. Is there any relief other than surgery?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The nasal polyp needs to be surgically removed. Your symptoms of sinusitis could be worsened by the polyp. Steroid shots as a side effect can cause weight gain.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
