dear M.,
I just had my sinus surgery this oct. I should start out that I can't handle pain at all. I stub my toe and feel like I will pass out. So for me while in surgery they broke my nose and then straightened it and then they cleared out the pockets under my eyes and then sawed a bone down and then opened up bothe nostrolis. The first day was horrible I had these huge cotton things in my nose that were so far in that they were in my throat. then I had this little blue mask that I had to keep on my nose for 24 hours. Because I had a hard time swallowing from the cotton in my throat I barley ate anything. Because of not eatting much and taking vicodin I got sick that night and the rest of the day. I went back to the doctors and they took out the cotton, what a relief. I got sick for the that night and then was finally able to keep things down the next morning. I was off all pain medicine as of monday and I had my surgery on friday afternoon. I still had a little bit of a hard time trying to remember not to blow my nose. But as for the pain it was gone. I went back that friday and they took out the splint. I had no problems with allergies or breathing since until I fell on my face last month. Would I have the surgery again, knowing my pain tolorance and knowing what I went through, yes in a heart beat. Good luck.
