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.
