Why would they have done sinus surgery if they saw no sinus issues?

What were your other structural issues?

Have you ever been tested for allergies?

Did you have any breathing issues?

Have you ever had anyone check your neck? Tight neck muscles (SCM/Trap) can hit the jaw, teeth, scalp and face-ultimately chronic tension headache that can feel like sinus.
Ultimately a very loose diagnosis of “mid segrment facial pain”.

I kept complaining about nasal pressure/upper teeth pain and the ENT doctor figured a sinus surgery was worth a shot to see if it would relieve my pain. He fixed my deviated septum & did a turbinate reduction. I felt better for 6 weeks post surgery but the pain came back. That's when they said it must not be sinus related. I have been tested for allergies I have no allergies. No breathing issues. I have been to a maxofacial specialist to see if I have any issues with my neck/jaw and he said no. All this started a few weeks before I tested positive for covid so I am not sure if it is covid related or not. I just need something to reduce the pain.
