@303wendy—

I understand this- and I really feel for you that you have gone through this.

There are many unknowns in the ENT world, especially they way they diagnose and recommend “elective” surgeries.

This isn’t to say that people don’t benefit in certain situations, but all boxes have to be checked and serious trials of therapy before ever moving someone forward for surgery. And even still surgery is only for better access of medical therapy into the sinuses. It’s not a stand alone surgical treatment.

Do you have the constant yellow mucous daily and just an overall general feeling of being unwell?

Also-keep in mind often times loss of smell is not due to any blockage or nerve issue but rather inflammation in that area.
With your ENT wanting to inject PRP in this area of the olfactory tissue is he suspecting nerve/tissue loss?

I would also be curious to ask this ENT if indeed a FULL complete FESS was done.
Or just partial areas of the ethmoid air cells.
Do you know if yours was indeed full?

Sorry for all the questions-just trying to help.
