Upon the suggestion of a couple of friends (and based upon the recommendation of some others), I scheduled an appointment with another Ears/Nose/Throat doctor here in town to get another opinion.
His believes without a doubt, I will see relief from headaches (he can’t guarantee 100%) by opting to go ahead and have surgery. Not only are there numerous cysts in one sinus cavity, I also have a “horribly” deviated septum and what appears to be chronic sinusitis in the cavity opposite the cysts. He said that it wasn’t any wonder why I was having headaches in response to weather changes.
This appointment made me question whether the first doctor even looked at the MRI images or just read the radiology report as it never mentioned anything other than a single cyst.
Right now, I’m set for surgery on September 16th. I’m beginning to feel like I should apply for a frequent flyer discount.


Eeek! No fun. I hope it helps though.
You definitely need some sort of punch card.
Glad you got that second opinion. Praying it works like magic!!!
Is this an outpatient thing?
Keep me posted! I’m very curious about this, as I’ve got a cyst in one of my sinus cavities that’s pushing on the septum too and deviating it…although my doc said back several years ago when it was found that he wouldn’t do anything about it, sigh. You’re making me think maybe I need to track down a second opinion
Yes it is outpatient and should be short and simple–hopefully home within a couple of hours. The biggest challenge will be if the hospital is on time and if I get bumped back for higher priority procedures.
I’m really glad you got the second opinion, although it means you have to have surgery. But with it being a simple procedure, that will be a small price to pay if you get relief from the headaches. ((Hugs))
