Hard Tissue in sinus

[orsi]

10 years ago I had a jaw surgery. The last few years I had  pain in my face, which I thought from my teeth, but never find any problem with them. Finally I got a new dentist, who took an x-ray, and seen that my sinuses are full. I went to the ENT doctor, took medication for 6 weeks, but did not help, so I had a sinus surgery, + the doctor took all the screws and plate out from the left jaw, because he said one of them was sticking in the sinus, that was caused the pain. That happened in October, but last month, I started to feel a hard "ball" in my left face (sinus?). I can feel it from outside of my face, and inside the gums are swollen. Some days are really bad, swollen from outside too. It’s painful for pressure, even for touch. Is anybody knows what that could be? Thank you

That sounds painful, I'm sorry.  I would go back to the doctor and complain.  You have to push with these doctors sometimes.  Maybe it's some type of scar tissue?

I had my surgery on oct. 17th, and right after that, I lost my health insurance, I could go back for post check up for 90 days, so I just run out of time (I did not know about the time limit). I would go back to see him, but I am affraid of the expensive tests.
What I forgot to mention, I am having this weird smell in my nose all day long, I use sinus rinse twice a day, but doesn't help, the smell is allways there.
