Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hi, I'm not totally sure what kind of sinus problems you have... but I know that after my surgery I couldnt breathe out of one nostril and my doctor told me that I was just swollen. However, the problem persisted and it turns out that they deviated my septum during the surgery and ended up having to get a second surgery to fix it. I don't want to scare you, but it's something to look in to. > Has anyone developed sinus trouble because of changes in the TMJ? I > have sinus problems I can't get rid of and I am wondering.....

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hi, just to join the sinus discussion here: I had upper & lower on 7 May, and I don't have any real sinus problems from the op, but whenever I sit down too quickly, or lean forward etc my sinuses just under my eyes start tingling and feeling really funny. Is this normal or is there something wrong? Thanks! Tarryn > > Has anyone developed sinus trouble because of changes in the TMJ? I > > have sinus problems I can't get rid of and I am wondering.....

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 For beakghs, I just wanted to ask you about your sinus problem. Your septum was deviated during your jaw surgery? The reason I'm asking is that I just had surgery to correct that problem because I was told I needed to have that fixed before my jaw surgery. I didn't even think of the possibility of it being re-deviated. I really don't want to have to go through that surgery again. Is this a common problem with upper jaw surgery? I'm hoping it's not too common of a situation. > Hi, I'm not totally sure what kind of sinus problems you have... but I > know that after my surgery I couldnt breathe out of one nostril and my > doctor told me that I was just swollen.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi - I just wanted to chime in here too. My septum was deviated before my jaw surgeries and my surgeon suggested that I wait to have it fixed for this very reason. He said that especially when the upper jaw is being moved, there is always the possibility of nasal issues arising. Sure enough, now after my jaw surgeries, my nose is even worse than it was before as a result of the surgeries. Life just isn't fair sometimes. I am so sick of the surgery scene right now that I can't even think about my nasal issues yet! Good luck!!! > > Hi, I'm not totally sure what kind of sinus problems you have... but > I > > know that after my surgery I couldnt breathe out of one nostril and > my > > doctor told me that I was just swollen.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I went for pre-op yesterday. OS said my sinuses are fine. I must have developed an allergy to something. Surgery will be June 8th. It was going to be both upper and lower, but now he decided to do just lower. My only concern is doing just the lower might not solve problem but I will trust his judgement. No ortho for me just lower advancement and fitting teeth back together as best he can to stabalize the tmj and correct bite. > > Hi, I'm not totally sure what kind of sinus problems you have... but > I > > know that after my surgery I couldnt breathe out of one nostril and > my > > doctor told me that I was just swollen.
