Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Chronic Symptoms

There are sinus symptoms that resolve on their own, and then there are the other kind. Many millions of Americans wrestle with sinus symptoms so severe and so chronic that they never seem to abate on any day, or any season.

This story describes how one patient managed the continuous pain associated with chronic sinusitis:

“I felt terrible for pretty much a solid year to a year and half,” Ramey said. “You know it really affects your sleep – it’s really difficult to fall asleep when you can’t breathe.” […]

And we all know that poor sleeping habits can set off their own cascade of terrible symptoms. The patient in question underwent a more conventional form of sinus surgery known as endoscopic sinus surgery, and found that the results were dramatic and long-lasting:

Back at Ramey’s home in Botetourt County, she is full of energy as she plays in the backyard with her two dogs. Her surgery was in November.

“It was almost immediate. … It was awesome,” Ramey said as she described the results.
