I had sinus surgey last Monday and I,m still stuffed up. I need my nose Back. How long is this surpose to last? Just venting. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hate to tell ya, but stuffiness is usually 4 to 6 weeks.. and healing is gradual..
so one day it's like.........oh my..... I can smell!!!!!

Oh sorry to hear that I have no clue how long it takes to heal.

oooch, what a pain, I hope you recover soon!

Positive energy to you so that you can heal in comfort! I have a friend who has had several sinus surgeries for various blockages and she is always glad to "recover" her sense of smell, and be able to USE her nose for breathing! :?

I've never heard of sinus surgery before. Sounds painful! I have good luck getting unstuffed feeling by smelling the steam from heated white vinegar, my grandmother use this remedy all her life. I don't know about doing it after surgery work though.

It will take another week or two for the swelling to go down in there. You should start to notice a little improvement day by day after week 2 (or at least that's what they told my dad several years ago).

Wishing you continued healing and a sign soon that the surgery was a success.
