A member asked:
My rheumatologist doesn't want me to do sinus/septoplasty. my ent dr.says i must. but rheumatologist said seek second ent opinion. why he refuse ?

Second opinion: Your rheumatologist must feel there are factors which makes sinus/septoplasty not a good idea. He may feel non-surgical options have not been explored. It never hurts to get a second, and sometimes a third surgical opinion.
