Anyone like see my sinus polyp.

[Motionoftheoceon]

After weeks of sinusitis, finally went to see the GP and was referred to ENT. One CT scan later and he confirmed my entire sinus was blocked on one side of my face by a very large polyp. By the time I had surgery to remove it, it had grown into my nose and started to grown into my throat.

So glad to finally have it out and very kind hospital team gave me a lovely photo of ‘the beast’ for prosperity.

We need the photo!!

Should be a photo there now

Impressive!

OH MY GOD!! That's the best thing ever! How do you feel now?

Phwoarrr!

It needs a name! It looks like an stretchy alien from a plastic egg.

Feel amazing now, by the time I had it removed I was waking up several times a night from how loudly I was snoring, and it was bloody uncomfortable.

Stopping the snoring has definitely saved my marriage!

Wow.

What caused it to form?

I bet your head feels lighter now

Ooh that's awesome

I love the NHS.

Brava, OP! That exceeded my expectations by some distance

@Motionoftheoceon
Thank you for sharing

wow I am getting sinus infections all the time, nasal drip, the pain in face is awful and neck pain. Am making appt, this week to see doc to ask for ct scan. How long was the operation and the recovery? You must be happy to be able to breathe again and pain gone. Were you bruised after. well done and thanks for sharing.

A thing of beauty... 🤣

I was thinking it would be the size of a baked bean MAX. That's impressive! Bravo OP!!

That's beautiful in its grotesquerie.

What's the orangey bulgy bit at the side? Kind of want to give it a prod and see it shiver.

I have one of these but been told not to bother removing it as a weakness will be created and it will almost certainly come back - did your surgeon say this OP?

The multicolour look is most impressive.

I imagine that it's one he'll of a relief that it's gone now OP. You'll be getting a massive oxygen rush every time you breathe in now.

Surely you must name it Sigourney?

I'm so jealous! I was referred to ENT by GO 6 months ago after months of the ting steroid sprays. Had the letter from ENT to say am on waiting list but still haven't had they initial appointment with ENT. I haven't chased it as I know the NHS are struggling to catch up, but this post has given me the boost to chase it! Im fed up of always sounding like I've got a cold, waking myself up snoring and having headaches!

Referred by GP, not GO!

The bit on the side looks like a really old grape

A thing of beauty. Top notch sporn!

That's really gross. 😂😂😂😂. You must be feeling so much better OP.

That's HUGE!!
