Symptoms After Surgery For a Blocked Sinus Posted: 08-17-07 16:28pm
Hello.
It's about a symptom that my dad has had
for over a month now. My dad had suffered
from facial swelling, numbness, acute pain
around the sinus, and pressure on an eye
for about a month. After taking a CAT
scan, It turned out that all the symptoms
were caused by a blocked sinus, which was
full and pushing up and down the sinus.
But, my dad's doctor didn't exactly know
why the sinus was blocked. Anyways, the
doctor performed a surgery to remove the
blockage, and it's been about 3 weeks
after the surgery. The doctor says the
surgery was successful, but My dad keeps
feeling a little bit of numbness, and
occasional acute pain. And also, he still
feels the water flowing or draining around
the sinus area, which he used to feel
before the surgery. So he thinks that the
surgery was not very successful, and
something is wrong. I and my dad have
talked to the doctor about it, but the
doctor keeps saying that it's a just
recovering process. But what concerns me
and my dad is that the doctor who
performed the surgery had no idea what
exactly caused the symptoms when he tried
to analyze the result from a CAT scan. So
we would be grateful if you could help us
find out what's really going on.
