I was informed (drs) that it is possible that I could have a stroke or die if the vein bursts if attempt surgery. I haven't been on site for long time..Happy to hear your input.. Radiologists (new) are now overlooking my Mri's, I'm hoping after 4yrs. I get some relief of pain. Sinus: I do use neti pot ev. day..and get infections quite often. All my tests (lots) come back perfect. Facial pins/needs/pain, seems systemic at this point, exhausted...hoping to find relief. Thank you so much for your input, grateful.

Hi, if the sinuses are blocked, then you may need re surgery to promote drainage of the sinuses. In the meantime you can try neti pot to drain the sinuses. Also, if the ophthalmic vein varix is causing swelling of the eyes and problems with vision, it needs to be embolized. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.
