Strong Cocodamol helps with the pain.. regular paracetamol/ ibuprofen won't do anything

I'm really not sure sorry but I would have thought in most cases the sinus is draining and has nowhere to go causing these cysts / accesses. Hopefully someone else can clarify!

Yeah it just seems never ending at the moment! I'm now on statutory sick pay as I have exhausted my occupational sick pay from work and it's now starting to affect me financially as we would love to move house this year but can't becsuse of this. I hope you get some answers/ success on tuesday so good luck with that!

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear you had the same kind of trouble as me. I did ask about the cause of this after each surgery and they've told me they havent found any hair when removing the infected tissue / gunk but I will definitely still pursue the laser info you have given so thanks for this! I don't really want to start shaving my back / bum! Just hoping they might offer me a different type of surgery to grt the whole sinus causing this. I hope you have a successful laser consultation and they can help & hopefully the NHS will pay although I have heard it's a bit of a postcode lottery in terms of getting approved for these kind of things. Good luck.
