So I can't train for three weeks - SuperiorMuscle.com

I have a proceedure this week to resolve some cartillage blocking one of my nostrils (probably from a knock at some point). It involves cutting and cauterising with high frequency electro heat, sounds nice doesn't it?

The real bummer is that it will be very suceptable to bleeding for a few days while the internal stitches heal and even after they don't want me heavily excerting for three weeks!!! the risk is if you begin to bleed bad it won't stop and you need to then go back in.

Anyone else had anything like this?

On the plus side, six weeks after its done I should be able to breath far more easily through my nose and won't snore as bad

Well it sucks you can't train, but at least you'll be able to breath.

What kind of doctor did you go to for this work? An ENT?

Exactly an ENT consultant, its a deviated septum procedure (septoplasty) and ...diathermy

sucks bro, never heard of that before. so you have a hard time breathing or what?

Mr incredible · #7 03-18-08, 10:48 AM

Don't have trouble breathing per se because I just use my mout more but just have restricted breathing through one nostril that has become more noticeable with time. Had the op this morning and have some splints left in there so I have to go back in a week to have them out. Its pretty swollen in there right now but I'm glad its done, in a few weeks I should be able to breath much easier through the nose.

Its actually more common than people think but it tends to be so gradual many people don't notice

My dad had one and I went to an ENT a couple years back and he said I have one as well. My dad had the surgery and it didn't make any improvements, so when the doc told me I should get it I am very hesitant.

Let me know how the outcome is in a couple weeks. Want to see if it was just a fluke thing for my father. I figure it was.

sure Timma I'll let you know but I have been told it can take up to six weeks for the sewlling to completely go

Cool!, turns out its from the mother in law, should keep me busy for a while!

WTF, I just puled out some fruit and I can't figure out what the hell it is; its green, about fist size, shiney texture, looks like a star shape from the top the when you turn it its like a series of pods, almost like pea pods but all attached in the middle. I don't think I should just bite into it, it loks like it should be cut into
anyone any ideas?

Mr incredible · #16 03-20-08, 01:02 PM

got it, relax everyone, its a Kumquat, apparently!

Never seen one before, this is what I got

Hey Timma, in keeping you updated I had the nasal splints taken out Tuesday, I can breath through my nose again now but its stil a bit swollen up there and will be for a few weeks more before I get the full benefit.

I can't train till next week but I'm going to do a little light cardio tommorrow. the worst thing about it has been the doing nothing while it heals, in some ways that has given my body a break but I can tell you that sitting around for so long has given my really bad hip, knee and lower back pains.

Can't wait to get the body moving again
