Had them done yesterday yesterday, packing removal later this morning. Lots of pain. Man there are a lot of nerves in the nose. Anyone else ever had these done? I remember Hedo Turkoglu had septoplasty when he was with the Kings. Can't even imagine how it was with him since he's got a lot more nose than I do. Anyhow, I just want to say "Owwwwwww."
The pain and trouble now are a necessary evil. You will love breathing through your nose in a week or two; especially at night. For me, my last surgery ended about two years of a constant headache too. I didn't know how bad it was until it stopped. Now take your hydrocodone and go back to sleep.
Thanks. Good to hear there's light at the end of the tunnel. Went to the doctor, some of the packing is staying in until Tuesday because I bled a lot during surgery. Still kind of miserable, but much better than last night.
A few months ago, I was having these MONSTER headaches with vertigo...I went to several doctors, got several tests - then an ENT figured it out within 10 seconds of looking up my nose. Apparently, I have a "buckled" septum - as in, it deviates both ways. He gave me all sorts of nasal sprays and those cleared it up for the most part, but he said I only have a few years before it'll be so bad that I'm gonna need surgery. I really wasn't looking forward to that then, but after reading this I'm dreading it.
