Another Post Op Question
« on: April 25, 2007, 07:29:19 am »
Today marks day 8 post op and each day has been a little better than the day before.  I'm noticing a feeling of my hearing ear being "stopped up."  It's like when you're driving up a mountain and need to "pop" your ears when you get to the top.

Is this typical and if so about how long does it take to resolve?

Cat--If they did like they did me, they took some fat and "plugged up" the eustatchian tube so yes, that feeling of pressure is normal, and they say it will lessen as time goes by and swelling goes down.
