Chronic pain in forehead months after sinus surgery
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: 11 hours ago | Replies (12)Comment receiving replies
I also had balloon sinuplasty over a year and a half ago. I also suffer from chronic headaches with varying degrees of pain. I am being treated as a migraine patient and get Botox for migraines every 12 wks, take Qulipta daily and use Ubrelvy as a rescue med. 3 CT Scans and 2 MRIs show nothing. I have also tried Gabapatin and Pregabalin and they help but really make me out of sorts so will not take during the work day. Do you have any updates since you last posted? I hope you are finding relief.

I know your pain! I had a 2 inch olfactory neuroblastoma just removed that required a craniotomy 3 weeks ago! And I asked EVERYONE prior to surgery how to prevent the migraines that I know it’ll trigger, because the biopsy triggered them BAD! I already get Botox for them and am on a preventative, topamax. They all said, the hospital will take care of any pain you’re in. HA! I had to force them to release me TWO DAYS early because I had stronger drugs at home. I have been in he!! For 3 weeks until my neuro (well my ent gave me gabapentin 100mg 3 times a day which I’m surpringly tolerating, then my neuro gave me nortriptyline at night and now has added depakote! I can’t function on all that.
And I’m supposed to start radiation and chemo in a few weeks.

It should be noted that prior to the balloon sinuplasty surgery, I had no history of headaches or migraines. They started immediately after surgery and still persist to this day.
