I am 55 and for the last 14 days I have a problem with bad odour. It just comes like twice a day, especially when a bend down... i smell it for a few minutes and then it is gone.. i think it's coming from my stomach, but i smell it even if my mouth are closed...i have no other symptoms.
View 3 RepliesOk so I've had this problem for over 2 years, and its the biggest pain ever. I ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS feel Mucus in the back of my throat, I can't clear it away by just coughing it up, or spitting it out, I have to suck it in me. I really try to spit it out, but I can only spit it if I let it build up for awhile, other than that I have to suck it up, and while doing that I make a really annoying noise....something like blowing your nose really really hard, but even worse noise. I talked to my parents but they never believe me, they tell me: Its Psychological, and I've adapted a bad habit.But I SWEAR I can feel it always. We've been to a Allergist, and he said its maybe Sinus, or Post-nasal drip. He said the Mucus builds up in my nose, and drips down to the back of my throat...Although I can't feel the drainage from Nose to throat, but my nose is pretty blocked up. The Allergist said this started because of a past allergy, and I agreed. 2 years ago I had severe Allergy, and once the allergy left, this problem continued on till today.The Allergist recommended Nose drips, and Allergy medicines, but they never helped not even a bit. Next we went to a Nose and Throat Specialist, and she checked my nose and throat and said: Its Psychological, and I've adapted a dirty habit. But I SWEAR on my life, I feel it 24/7 in the back of my throat, but no one believes me not even the DOCTORS! What shall I do PLEASE help. This Mucus is always there, and by clearing my throat (Spitting, Sucking whatever), its makes a noise, that every hates, even MYSELF!!! PS. I tried drinking salt water and everything.

View 1 Repliesi'm having really bad anxiety about this and it goes away when i don't think about it or focus on it, could this just be a side effect of anxiety?
View 3 RepliesI get a nose polyp more on one side of nose than the other, also the ear on that side also has a lot more problems with blockages and pain and whatever. Researching online I saw some posts saying that it is unusual for it to be more one side than the other and can be cancer! Now am worried sick. Please tell me your thoughts but please don't say stuff like go to the doctor.
View 5 RepliesI need advice! I past I had problems with sinuses, for which my doctor said they are not major; in short I left them untreated and prayed I would be ok. Now, problems with my eyes have occurred. Seems like I have pain behind my eyes in the skull, in the brain, I do not know how to describe this. Could this be because sinuses? Does sinus problems cause eye problems?
View 1 RepliesI had an operation to remove a pilonidal sinus on 24th july. 5 months on and I don't really feel any better off. I didn't say anything when I first discovered the problem as I didn't think anything of it. I only said something once I found out my brother had the same problem! I must have had the sinus for around 2 years before I had the operation, something which I deeply regret now. The wound was a very deep one and I was expecting it to be a long while before it had fully healed, but not this long! I was told by the nurses about 2 months ago that it was only a few weeks away from being fully healed, but it got infected and has set me back a long way. I have to say I do feel a little let down by the nurses I have been seeing. Fair enough they have a tough job but I have questioned quite a few of their decisions during this recovery period. Surely they should be able to see an infection developing on a nearly recovered wound. The fact I was the one who had to push for antibiotics to cure the problem is worrying. I feel I have been palmed off in other ways too. Since the infection, there seems to be little or no healing, and despite persistence from myself to either see the surgeon again or visit a wound clinic they have been very reluctant to do anything. The inconsistency with the nurses has also been a major concern of mine. One day I will see a nurse who says it's not looking great, and the next, I will see someone who hasn't seen it for months, which gives me no idea of how it's doing.
In the last few weeks, I have discovered a lump at the base of my spine, and looking at information on the internet, I'm pretty sure it's a cyst. The annoying thing is that I have told the nurses 3 times about this lump and they either say they don't think it's anything to worry about or they simply don't know what it is. I need closure on this issue and have booked another appointment with the doctor to get to the bottom of it. (I saw him 3 weeks ago with the nurse and he said the wound was looking ok, and that I should give it another few weeks to see if there has been any improvement). There is also a pretty strong odour which is embarrassing. I've got to do something to try and cure the problem. It's driving me crazy and I can't see an end to the problem right now. I'm going to request either being referred back to the surgeon or to a wound clinic. Have any of you been to wound clinics that you would recommend? What are the processes involved? Are they effective?
This problem has kept me from doing some of the things I love, such as playing football, for almost half a year now and will inevitably be longer. There's only so many jokes you can make about it before the depression and annoyance kicks in. It's really getting me down at the minute. Luckily I'm taking a gap year this year and will be going to uni next year, which will hopefully give me time to recover from this nightmare. (Hopefully being the major word!!)

View 8 RepliesI have for a couple of months now suffered with severe sinus pain above and around left eye and LH side of my nose, paracetomol do not seem to bring any relief.
My nose is not blocked I can breath Ok it is obviously further up in my sinus.
As I am on blood pressure tablets my chemist tells me they cannot give me Sudafed or similar and has no other suggestions.
Can anyone here give me some advice on relieving this constant pain.
i recently had surgery about 8 months ago now and got a severe infection that required emergency surgery to remove the e coli infection. It took forever to go away and was very sick through this to the point I wondered if i might die. Then after I was better I was nervous and on edge. Then now three months ago my aunt that I worked with and have for 21 years was diagnosed with brain cancer. She had surgery but died from the cancer growing back. I was devastated. Since all of this I had my first attack in the middle of sleep one night. I awoke from a dead sleep with right hand numb , nausea, feeling of death, chest hurt, shaking and crying and went to the ER and heart looked fine and no heart attack. So they put me on ativans. I am on wellbutrin also for this time to help me get through my grief. Since then I have them more and more. I might skip a night but they will return or in the later day at work when i'm tired and stressed, Is it normal to have them so much? Its a feeling of sacredness just to go to bed at night. I also get sinus pressure during these attacks and dizziness. Any others with this?
View 1 RepliesHope you are all recovering now. I had PS a few years ago i had to sit in the hospital for four days but the ps went down. Jan this year it was back but this time i have been left with a cyst. It's getting more painful everyday. As i sit down all day for my job that doesn't help.
I am going to have the op not sure which one yet i'm waiting for my appointment.
Reading what you have all said i'm an scared and hoped that it didn't take that long to heal as i have a holiday booked for June.
I am 34 weeks and I usually squat to pick something up or I'll just sit down to pick something up at home on the floor but then I can't get back up.
View 8 RepliesI can't bend my left knee without excruciating pain. And when I walk - it's with a limp now. If I try to bend it - it is extremely painful until I raise it higher - than it will go all the way up. So in fact, I can bend it up to my butt, but initially it hurts like anything - almost like there is a tear or a part not working.
Has anyone else had this?

View 1 RepliesCan anyone advise me? I had my first PS op last June '09. I am still experiencing pain when sitting for any length of time - whether in office for the day - or on car journey. I have not had recurrence of actual opening of the wound itself (altho it took a long time to close) and no abscess' - but the discomfort frightens me that it could be coming back! My GP tells me to wait and see for a while!
View 2 RepliesRecently told I may have Ménière's disease of right ear. Any medications or surgery has helped for you? Symptoms are constant dizziness(at times have sensation of falling or floating when really bad), lightheadedness, very unbalanced, foggy headed, at times ear pressure and constant headaches. All started after bad sinus cold in mid last September and hit me really hard a few days after cold and has never left. The only time I had relief and felt 100% percent was when they gave me antibiotics and prednisone.

I have been keeping a diary and have noticed that about a week before my period is due I start suffering sinus problems eg stuffy nose, blocked ears, congestion and fuzzy headed sometimes dizzyfish.
I keep explaining to my Dr that this keeps happening but he is not convinced there is a link. I'm sorry but my diary says otherwise.
I have been to new consultant today. X ray ok so must be adhesions. As I thought. MUA is only offer so I am going for it. Really not brave so hope for the best.
