Serious Problem...and getting worse
by jrizz, May 08, 2008 08:42AM
Since I broke my nose when i was sixteen, i have had an increased swelling through the years. then about a year later my ears started popping constantly. Im twenty six now and still have the same issue except the swelling is worse along with my ears. The swelling goes on both sides of my nose up to the corner of my eye and out to the bridge over my cartilidge. I have been to allergists, e.n.t's and everyone has tried everything: antibiotics, allergy medicine, shots, sceptoplasty, steriods, nose sprays, and nothing has taken the popping, congestion, and swelling away....not to mention is horrible that through the prime of your life your face is partially swollen....Has anyone every heard or know what this might be?

I responded to your response in my thread, but wasn't sure if you would check back.
I just wanted to ask if you had any brain scans done?
..and also to look into keloids. Perhaps the scar tissue is affecting your ears, because the ears are attached to the eustachian tubes which runs the length from the middle ear to the nasopharynx, which is located behind the nose. the pressure from the swelling is probably changing the pressure in your ears? maybe? forgive me if you have already looked into this, and found it an obvious observation. but i was just wondering.
come to think of it.. you mentioned steroids, so perhaps you've already been through this.
in any case.. i hope you are well today.
