When i descend on an airplane i experience almost unbearable sinus pains. my eyes are even bloodshot. only on descent though. besides afrin (oxymetazoline) any ideas?

Depends on : The status of the sinuses. I have the similar problem, it resolves within days of plane flight. I have not pursued this but it would in your case be important to see an ENT specialist for sinus evaluation.
