Lingering dry nasal passageways

Did you ever recover? I've been suffering the same symptoms for six months and even got inferior turbinate reduction surgery for the swelling. It's been two months since my surgery and my nose is super dry. I did find that pushing wet tissues (use sterile/filtered water) up my nose for long periods led to a partial decrease in swelling and let the small amount of mucus that my nose still makes accumulate.

I had the turbinate procedure toward the end of 2020 (Sept I think). I did nothing for me and my nose has been super dry ever since. I had Covid early 2020 (March). It was cake. I was 38 at the time. Never had allergies. I have been to 3 ENTs, no results, can't breathe, allergy tested three times. I'm very athletic and play soccer. I have not been able to play since March 2020. I wish I did not get the vax (2 x Pfizer). I was diagnosed with reflux and took tons or omeprazole. No help. Have an endoscopy, everything was normal. I have something in the back of my throat/nasal cavity that will not go away. If I breathe in through the back of my throat, it sounds and feels like something is going to come out but it never does. My chest hurts from constantly trying to clear my throat and it is wearing me down more and more every day.
My lower back hurts, my upper shoulder blades and neck hurt like I just played a football game or slept on a crappy couch.
My nose is always dry and swollen and my head hurts like a constant sinus pressure, but sinus CT scan was perfect. So frustrating. I'm sure there is much much more to add to this but I'm just looking for help.
God Bless,
Brandon
