update on the forehead pain:
for those who have similar problems... or might have in the future...(hope not)
I did a CT scan and showed inflammed mucosa of all the sinuses. That blocked the sinuses so I couldn't equalise therefore I got the forehead pain...
treatment I received by a good allergy doctor (I have spring pollen allergy) :
6 days on cortisone pills, then antibiotics for 12 days (right now I am taking antibiotics) and another 6 days of cortisone pills.
It feels much better already and also on diving!
another option for blocked sinuses I have heard yesterday by a diver friend is laser treatment, they cauterise the foramens so it stays open and the built up is clearing for months... anyone else know about this treatment option?
FESS is another option, but takes longer to rehabilitate (you can see a relevant thread). Laser, from what i have heard, has minimal -close to zero-recovery time....
I think its worth considering for divers (and not) with similar problems..
anyone else has experience on this? any ENT surgeon on the forum?
any divers with blocked sinuses?
regards
