We didn't know sinus flare ups were so painful and tests and xrays don't show much. When she had her kidney flare up there was no pain and we only knew about it because of the tests.
Glad you got it worked out. Sorry I didn't chime in earlier. Sinus flare ups can be debilitating; I know first hand. At one point, I was taking three different Rx pain killers, and that wasn't helping much! Finally, my ENT went on a rampage to the Rheumy's office and low and behold, four months of agony were taken care of with my first round of Rituxan.
I owe my ENT for a multitude of saves over the years. He and I are good friends now! I think he likes me because I helped buy him a sailing trip! (-8 LOL!
I hope that things will start to improve very soon for BOTH of you!
