I'm 47. Never had sinus trouble other than cold/flu....ever.
Over the last week or so, my face hurt...it would come and go. The last 2 days were brutal!
I could take it no more. Went to "Doc-in-a-Box"...(Solantic)...Thought I might be having an aneurysm or something..lol.
It hurt bad over my brow thru the bridge of my nose. Maybe I'm a wuss when it comes to pain...but a sledge hammer to the face seemed like a good idea.
Anyway, it's a sinus infection. Doc prescribed some antibiotics along with some otc stuff, including nasal spray. We were discussing nasal sprays, neti pots, etc... and he mentioned "good ways of getting the saline up in there".
Saline? I asked. That's what nasal sprays are...mostly.
Then I thought..."Self, ya know how the snot runs outta your nose like Niagra Falls for the first 30 minutes when you're in the ocean?"
I have not ridden my ski since new years day. Maybe if I weren't such a wuss about the cold......
Anyway, those with sinus trouble....you have my sympathy!
