I had endoscopic sinus surgery 5 days ago. I have a ton of headaches and have to take Tylenol pretty regularly


Question:
in order to function. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced recurrant headaches after endoscopic sinus surgery?

Answers:
Yes, I had a procedure like this. You can expect to have headaches for a while. You need to irrigate the sinuses with saline solution to get rid of the clotting. My doctor gave me a recipe to make your own.
In a gallon of water, use about a cup of pickling salt or sea salt, Not regular table salt. Mix well. Then irrigate your sinuses with this by using a bulb syringe. I was told to do this at least three times a day. If you don't want to mix this yourself, there is a product called "Simply Saline" that works great.

I am sorry you are having this problem. I was lucky enough to have been given hydrocodone/APAP to take three times a day, #30. Just enough to ease the pain until the junk got out of my sinuses.
I had the same procedure to remove polyps back in May 2007 and fix my deviated septum. I have occasional headaches, but was prescribed a medication to relax the muscles on my head and Tylenol extra Strength. My sinus will have to adjust to each seasons so that is why I will have occasional headaches. I was told approx 6 month to get adjusted.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
SURGERY CAN CAUSE h/a due to hyperactivity of liver due to drugs.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
