misdiagnosed on my sinues

Posted , 4 users are following.

Went to ent yesterday and told him the pain I having in my nose. He looked in my nose and told me I have a deviated septum and in large terms in nose. He said if I have surgery and remove my deviated septum it will not stop the pain I am havng??? But I will be able to breath better. He thought maybe it's also facial pain. Please let me know if surgery helped you afterwards? I am trying to find out if surgery will help? I am so confused. JEANNIE4OO6

    I'm really sorry for what you are going through.  I've been dealing with sinus issues for three years.  As part of my sinus issues and to my surprise, I also had a deviated septum, which was fixed not removed during my first surgery, Please, before you have ANY surgery, get at least one, if not two more opinions from a reputable doctor that specializes in Otolaryngology.   Hopefully, you have already had a CT of your sinuses to see extaclty what is going on.  Best of luck to you!!!
