Eustachian tube dysfunction and balloon dilation

jcj123,
do you have acid reflux, or TMJ, sinus issues?
It seems like any inflammation from the procedure would be resolved after six days. Is there any chance of infection, maybe even from the procedure itself.
When I was prescribed hyperbaric oxygen, I was cautioned not to have the treatment if I couldn't clear my ears.
Afrin nasal spray, sudafed, and hard candy always helped.
Have you had your hearing tested. Those tecs at least the older ones have seen everything and might know something.
It is very uncomfortable and isolating.
I wanted you to have a response, even if it's no answer.
My dad had this and had the tubes which worked for six months. It came back, but then suddenly went away.

Thank you for your response. No one ever answers my questions because I think I'm the only one with this problem. I do have follow up appt today with surgeon so I'll see what she says. But, I'm so devastated and need some resolution. I'm uncomfortable 24/7. To answer your questions, I don't have reflux, tmj, or sinus issues. When I did the hyperbaric and TOLD them my ears weren't clearing, they just told me that they will and I continued the treatments. I WISH they had told me to wait until they're cleared. I'm sure this is a factor. I feel like suing them but I'm sure there's some loophole that I signed. :((( I feel like even this dr who did this surgery doesn't understand what I'm feeling I"ve been to 9 drs and they really know nothing. Very upset but hoping this will clear. Thank you for responding.
