Has anyone here ever had surgery to correct one?
I've been a victim of terrible sinuses (infections etc...) for as long as I can remember. I finally saw a therapist today and it turns out that I have a severly deviated septum - so much so that it's occluding my left sided sinuses and they cant drain - hence all the sinus pressure, blockage, infections, etc. In ways I'm relieved, because now I know why this keeps happening, but at the same time peeved because it's taken so long for anyone to figure this out.
Anyway - the treatment is surgical. I know all the ins and outs of the surgery because ironically I work in a hospital that specializing in this kind of surgery. It actually makes it a little more scary... sometimes having too much info can be worse.
I just am looking for some feedback from people as to how they have felt afterwards - when the healing is complete. I've only dealt with patient the first few hours post-op. I'm seriously considering the surgery if it will alleviate things.
