Hello,
I am new to this forum.
Could you tell me more about how you were formally diagnosed with ENS? Were you seen in person by Dr. Das? Or was it just a phone consult?
I had FESS surgery a year and half ago and have been on a journey for the last year to understand what has been going on.
I have been told, I do have scarring, but that shouldn’t be causing my pain. I have seen 4 different ENTs. I have been told by all, that they see inflammation and blockages and their only solution is a revision surgery. I tried the saline/budesonide rinse, but can not make it that long as it causes more pain and dryness.
Could you tell me more about your journey with this so I could get a better understanding of what I am experiencing is ENS, or if I should go another route for healing.
Thank you
