Has anyone had any experience with this? Apparently its supposed to work wonders for folks with constant sinus issues.

I've heard it's the bomb. I've researched it myself.

It's been recommended to me, but I haven't looked into it further. Constant sinus issues.

Used to have 4+ sinus infections a year. Had the balloon dialation done a year ago and haven't had a sinus infection since. I was back at work the next day.
Best decision I have ever made.

I use netipots with warm freshwater from ponds in the heat of summer.

Did you have nasal polyps too?

They advertise balloon sinuplasty on the radio here like it's the greatest thing that has ever been invented. Most of the women giving testimonials about it sound fat.

I can't remember, is it local or general anesthetic?

They gave some pain pills to take beforehand along with a relaxation/sleeping pill. Then a few shots in the nose at the office.
The shots were the worst part. That and when he bumped my septum with the tool. but overall and very painless, simple, in office procedure.

That's part of my problem. I have chronic sinusitis, but I also nasal polyps. I'd probably have to get those removed before I have the dilation.

Were you a loud snorer and had a deviated septum?

Ok seriously, not to change the topic, but this triple post crap has happened to me twice now. I only hit submit once. What gives?

Never had problems snoring and I had my deviated septum fixed in 08. I still have a slight deviation.

They really do. The procedure worked wonders for me though. Posted on 4/14/15 at 2:49 pm to Tunasntigers92
Yeah, currently.
