Yes. I ended up with allodynia and sensitivity to the air when I breathe in, warm & cold.

I was perfectly healthy before. No issues with any of this. And now it is constant.

Also-something to ask yourself, what makes you a “good candidate”? Everyone has a deviated septum (pretty much).
If your surgeon told you, you were a good candidate, there are many different reasons for this.

How long has it been since your septoplasty? My CT scan showed mildly deviated septum and moderate hypertrophy of both turbinates in the context of sleep apnea, which my ENT says could be helped some by surgery. But now I am going to pass on that given your experience. I can't stand any more pain. I also had ankle surgery that resulted in a flare up of CRPS undoubtedly due to SFN.
