I have had two sinus surgeries. One in 2010 and the last one in 2022. Both helped with my chronic sinusitis immensely. I slept in a recliner for the first few days to help with the drainage but I didn’t have much. I also had very little pain. I only took one pain pill the first night (probably more because I thought I should then need) and an occasional Tylenol after that. Everyone is different of course. You will start nasal rinses the day you get home or the next. I used the Navage system instead of the Neil med bottle. I like it better. There is so much information out there that I had myself so scared that I put the surgery off for years. It wasn’t bad so try not to worry. Getting my IV in was worse than the surgery. (They can never find my veins.) Good luck!!
