So what were the results? I'm sorry you've had that pain for so long. I know it well. My husband also has had chronic sinus problems to the point of having surgery. That was several years ago and he is not a candidate for any more surgeries due to a complication from the first (he had a bone piece missing after the first that just has a thin layer like egg shell separating his sinuses from brain. His surgeon said no surgery ever. No explanation for how that happened between the first surgery and second . . . but anyway, he uses a netti pot religiously. He will use Mucinex to thin mucus in sinuses. Ibuprofen to reduce swelling. All of these things help. What is your doctor recommending?
