Where the Sinuses Roam

Something is majorly wrong with my sinuses... I've had constant pain for several weeks now, and it is progressively worsening.

I know it's not allergies -- I was tested for allergies about a year ago and I am allergic to nothing.

I have tried decongestants, and they do not help me what-so-ever.

I don't know what's wrong, but it's almost to the unbearable stage.

  1. IANAD, but if it's been weeks and decongestants don't help it's probably a sinus infection. I'd go to a doctor to get it looked at.

    If it is an infection, an antibiotic will clear it up in a few days, but leaving it alone could cause problems.

  2. ... that's kind of where the story gets a little scary to me (as it's a little deeper than I presented in the post).

    See, this most recent stint of pain started just after finishing a couple weeks of antibiotics (which did help a little bit).

    And chronic sinus infections aren't new to my life. Last time, it took surgery to clear them up... I think I'm sort of in denial that such may be the case again... in fact, I'm going to pretend it isn't...

    (I do have an appointment with my doctor, though.)

    I hope the doc can get you straightened out.

    ... your sinuses, that is.
