A member asked:

Should my head have pain during & the rest of the day after my surgeon cleans my nose post septoplasty 3wks? feels like my brains were squeezed out!

Nose job: Yes. After surgery on the nasal septum you can expect head pain to last a while (eg. Several weeks to go away). Your nasal membrane is very sensitive, the lining of the bones to which it is attached is very sensitive. Imagine it like you got a good punch in the nose. It would hurt for a while.

Should feel relief: After cleansing and evacuating your sinuses, you should feel relief and a decongested feeling if you are feeling pain, you should discuss with your ent.
