Well as for the pain was bearable because all the pain i had with my adenoidectomy was horrible i had some teeth pain not too bad my biggest problem was breathing through my mouth because that drip pad was under my nose and could not breathe and stupid me tried to eat hard food the very next day and cut inside my throat so my throat bled for 3 days the stints came out on monday wow those are uncomfortable and big and then they suctioned blood from my nose and got these big blood clots that looked like pieces of liver gross. i have been resting last couple days being lazy i have noticed now a lot dry crusty blood in nose now do you have this names r taken well i got my inferior and middle turbs cut now i am worried about empty nose syndrome oh please i hope i dont have that i am trying not to jump to conclusions but i am still healing so i dont know if i have that or not and if i do then i am out of luck which all i have is bad luck anyway because i know people say dont get your turbs cut but you should see my pictures the difference in breathing room because of my turbinates and deviated septum no wonder i couldnt breathe the doctor gave me pictures inside the nose during the operation. so i am thankful for not a lot of pain and no dizzy and no throwing up after surgery but i am still not sure on the end result yet. how are you feeling names r taken? is your nose dry inside? keep in touch thanks for asking about me:)

thank you for ue response. I think i will go through witth it. I cant suffer anymore then i am now, whats a few days of pain if i can smell and breath again. I will post after my surgery to let everyone know if its as painful as people say.
If your polyps are completely filling your sinuses and nasal cavities, surgery is the only useful option. Polyps have a high recurrence rate and you will likely need to be on medications for maintenance after surgery. Common medications are steroid nasal sprays, Singulair, and occasionally oral steroids and antibiotics. If you already can't smell and breath, the packing after surgery might not feel that much different than you do now. Good luck with your surgery.
Lol yes the musscel's r good. i saw the ct scan and where there is the sinus cavities that r suppose to show up as air pockets, or something they are are totaly filled and blocked, he said surgery is the only option now

PEI has good mussels though!
surgery helps many people clear the ostia (hole at the bottom of the sinus that drains the mucous out)
a ct scan can show if the ostia are blocked. ask your doctor for proof that the surgery will help, such as the CT Scan results.
