Hi again Bryanna,

At 3.5 weeks now. I'm still slowly progressing, I think. Yesterday seemed to be step backward with noticeable increase in drainage from the OAC (and related increase in sinus pressure yesterday). Today seems better. However, I'm concerned that the OAC isn't going to spontaneously heal, as I would have expected that to happen by now.

I also think I'm dealing with a bit of nerve damage that complicates determining if I'm getting sinus pressure or nerve pain (dull ache in 1st and 2nd molars, slight numbness/tingling on that side of my tongue).

Anyway, what do you think - should I be concerned that the OAC is evidently still open?

Thanks!

Another 5 days or so have passed, and I'm still dealing with sinus drainage from the OAC (defintely a little less with each passing day). Also jaw stiffness and soreness is still an issue along with sinus pressure. I'm approaching 2.5 weeks out from surgery.

Do you think I'm still in normal healing phase for this?

Thanks!
