Constant fullness/pressure/ringing/neck pain/deviated septum

[forgetregret313]

Hi guys.. so my heart goes out to everyone who'se dealing with these symptoms.. because they are enough to really disable someone.. this has been going on for over 3 years now and it's just gotten severely worse this past year.. I just saw an ENT because of the constant pressure/fullness with both ears, nose is constantly clogged.. and sometimes it switches.. ENT only told me I had a deviated septum and that he didn't beleive in surgery.. I can't stand this anymore, nothing I do improves anything.. have tried allergy pills, nose sprays, neti pot.. and nothing.. also had a ct scan and that didn't show anything.. also my neck is so stiff and the pain goes down to my shoulders.. starting to really wonder if I have a more serious illness that just no one is able to detect.. All i know is that I can't live like this any longer.. I don't know what to do to make these symptoms bearable. Any suggestions??

Hi, I am having same problem as yours. I met many doctors(ent, dentist, neurosurgeon and physician), but nothing helped. May I know how you are feeling now?

Hi forgetregret313, I have the same issues you mentioned above. Can you please post what you found out about this?

I again agree with Londres70 here.

Correction of a septal deviation will not likely do anything for your ear symptoms, but the septal surgery MAY help with your nasal complaints.  Usually when a septoplasty is done, the inferior turbinates are addressed too.  In your case, one or both of these procedures MAY be helpful.  The not "believing" in the procedure is a little odd...It does need to be used in only the right cases, but that's different in not "believing" in it in general.

I think I would be getting a SECOND opinion ASAP if you can.  I would think at this point you need surgery if it is a deviated septum causing all your woes.  Did the physician say why he didn't believe in the surgery?
