It is a difficult process to understand exactly what is happening. This is why you really need a CT and an examination by someone knowledgeable. It could be what you are describing is a nasal valve collapse, it could be that your turbinates are still large and there is some kind of real blockage, or it could be that there is significant space and something like an implant could help. I know this is very hard for you but you cannot know what the anatomy is by looking in your mirror or stretching with your finger. It is a good sign that some things seem to provide an improvement so take some comfort with that and do your best to be patient for the next step.

I noticed again today I felt great after I got out of the shower then half hour later I was back to normal. I can't help but be optimistic about the implants.

The nasal mucosa is just gone. and it's not coming back. that ent is evil. I can't stop thinking about him. I acutally heisitated at the surgery room when he asked me to take clothes off.

Most of us have been exactly where you are and we understand it is extremely, extremely hard. We have experienced these same things. When have experienced being mad at ourselves for going through with the surgery. We know the feeling of the symptoms being relentless. I recall when I was at a point when I did not know how I would make it through that day let alone an extended period of time. In the end we have found ways to cope and you can also. You do not know the extent of your condition, what your anatomy looks like nor how long you will have symptoms. You are still relatively young and have a better chance to heal. There are current treatments and more are coming along as time goes by. Just take a step back and realize you need to take it day by day, figure out the next step followed by the next and you will get through this.

Can i ask you what type of surgery was done on your nose, did you have resection or cauterization, was it the inferior turbinates or the middle turbinates? Do you also feel better when you switch to mouth breathing even though the air is not being sensed going in by the nose.
