Has anyone had sinus surgery where they go in and make ur turbinates in ur nose smaller by usin different methods? If so did it help and are you able to breathe well or are still having problems? Also have you had an allergy test and that didnt help so you had the sinus surgery?

Hi I have blocked sinuses that I can do nothing with. I had the allergy testing, which came back clear, but was frightened off the surgery cos my consultant told me it was very close to my brain and eyes. Its making my life a misery, so hope u have some success

I just got a deviated septum repaired in June of this year and it was a pretty intense surgery, but I can breathe a lot better now. Not the same as sinus surgery, but just wanted to let you know I went through something similar if you need to talk...

i've had chronic sinus infections for years, had allergy testing and treatments until i started reacting to the shots too badly...i just had sinus surgery a month ago...they fixed my deviated septum, but also enlarged the sinuses with a balloon (like angioplasty), made the drainage openings larger, and made the turbinates smaller...
I CAN BREATHE!!!!! i can even smell things that aren't strong scents. it is great, i highly recommend it and wish someone had done this for me years ago! yes, it was uncomfortable for a few days, but pain meds took care of that, then some residual soreness (more from the deviated septum i think)...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
