Never a breathing problem. I had what they saw on a dentist cbct scan was a mucus retention cyst. I had ear pressure and facial pain.
Should not have happened and if so not like it did. He said he'd drain this and nothing to it.
Lost maxillary wall, nasolacrimal duct and valve and turbinate. Horrific hell.

I am so sorry to hear this.
And it helps that you share it so that more people are aware.

These situations happen weekly in the ENT setting. It is both tragic and disgusting how common these types of stories are. Neurologists know this as well.

I understand the exposure to the nerves you are dealing with and I hope you have found some way to cope/relieve the pain.
