Just got Balloon Surgery
Just had balloon dilation done on both ears and my sinuses yesterday. Found a great place in Columbia Sc for it. They put me under twilight anesthesia so I was knocked out. Took about an hour total from start to end. Leaving I was in pain. Good amount of blood but took some meds and was fine the next morning. Lots of congestion but they said no nose blowing first week. More updates to come on how this worked. I have had constant crackling and popping and fullness in both ears for about 3 years now. Hoping this is the fix.
Edit 1 : 2 Days post…less congestion still super clogged but this is expected. Able to do a sinus rinse tmro per my doctor so looking forward to that. Haven’t blown my nose yet. More updates to follow.
EDIT 2: Day 3 finally had my ears pop a little. If what it felt like after the pop is a sign of what’s to come man i’m happy I did this!
Edit 3 : Day 4 man I hope people use this to see how this works. Starting to really see some benefits left ear which was terrible before is starting to clear here and there randomly. I am not doing any manual methods to clear just letting my body re leaen to do it. After three years of the Valsalva and moving my jaw to po i am done doing it.
Last edit for a few weeks - I think worked. I slept last night the best I have in a long time. My nose feels so clear its concerning. My ears sre really starting to feel like how they should. I am hopeful this has worked.
