Severe Sinus Pain


I have suffered from chronic sinus infections throughout this past year.  I had sinus surgery at the end of March.  Unfortunately, this has failed to ease the pain.  My primary care physician prescribed Vicodin to help with the pain.  Since then I have had to switch to Percocet because I have built up a tolerance to the previous pain medication.  I would appreciate any suggestions about possible steps I can take from here.  I am doing all of the normal things to help with the sinuses: sinus rinses, Flonase, anti-inflammatories, etc.  None of these seem to help significantly.  Please help.

thanks for the suggestions.  i spoke with my pcp today, and she suggested returning to my neurologist for fear that my migraines may be coming back disguised as sinus pain.  we'll see where that road takes us...
