Hi,
I've had the surgery on Oct 2007. My left ear is totally deaf (translab). After the surgery about 6 months, I was feeling normal again. However, in the last 2 weeks, I believe that I've started to have some allergy and I took some Allegra, which seems to reduce the allergy, however, my left side (surgical side) area, especially the surgical area is a a little bit sore and a little pain when I press my fingers on the area. Also, I have some headache around my eyes and forehead. The most bothersome aspect of this is when I sleep on my back with the back of the head on the pillow, then there seems to be some pressure around the area, which is reminiscent of the feeling of pre-surgery. Also, the left side feel like it is hollow inside and not stuffed like before 2 weeks ago. This has scared me a little bit. Taking tylenol seems to fix it for half a day, but is comes back if I exercise or drive. The left side seems to be also sensitive to loud noise than before.
Any one has this issues before? Is this due to sinus issues (sinus headache)? Can this be caused by some infection in the sinus? I did have some solid mucus when I sneezed out about a week ago, but do not see any since.
Another question. I usually go to the dry heat sauna after the workout, and I notice that there is some kind of water coming inside of my mouth from the left nose in the heat of the sauna. My wife told me that she experiences the same thing and she indicates that his is normal. Does anyone experience this before?
I'd like to add that the white noise in the left side seems to be louder and tinnitus is also louder now.
Thanks for any response.
