Sinusitis – Painkillers dont work?
Posted by: Alan in Sinus Relief, tags: Don't, painkillers, Sinusitis, WorkI have suffered all of my life with severe/chronic sinusitis. When I get it, it totally takes over my life and I can’t focus on anything else.
I get severe pain at the side of my nose, in my jaw and bizarely my neck gets very painful and crunches when I move it. I regularly break out in sweats, get nauseus and have nose bleeds.
It usually lasts for about 4-5 days and there seems to be a definite link with my menstrual cycle in that it usually starts a couple of days before my period. I also get it if an aerosol is sprayed near to me. I can instantly feel my nostrils twitching!!
The worst thing is that nothing seems to relieve the pain. I take ibuprofen and sinus relief capsules (with paracetomol) every 4 hours and it doesn’t even take the edge off the pain. Steam inhalation does very little also. I’ve had Doxycycline from my GP a few times but it doesn’t stop is coming back long term.
I would be most grateful for any tips on pain relief as Im totally fed up!!
