Dear Diane
Thank you so much for getting back to me so promptly. I called my ENT consultant yesterday but, unfortunately, he is away until next Tuesday. His secretary has advised me to consult with my GP in the interim but she did offer the information that she has known other patients suffer from headaches following this procedure. She further went on to say that where there has been little or no air passage for years (as in my case) the mere fact that air is now reaching the sinus cavities can cause pain. She also said that one patient thought he was having headaches but it was in fact "numbness" which his brain registered as pain. All sounds a bit far fetched to me but I guess anything is possible! I will let you know what progress I make and come back to you in due course. Regards. Maryke
