Hey, I’m Dax — and I started this site because no one really warned me how brutal sinus surgery recovery could be.
I created SinusStruggles.com after going through a septum surgery that rocked me harder than I ever imagined. Before the procedure, I searched everywhere online trying to get a real sense of what to expect… but everything I found either sugarcoated the recovery or skipped over the worst parts.
This site is where I share the full, honest truth.
Why I’m Doing This
Sinus issues aren’t small. The pain, pressure, sleepless nights, and emotional toll are very real — and if you’ve ever had sinus surgery or chronic nasal problems, you already know that.
What frustrated me the most is that most websites make it sound like recovery is a breeze. Trust me — it’s not. If you haven’t read it yet, check out my brutally honest breakdown here:

That’s just the start of what I’m sharing.
What You’ll Find on This Site
Sinus Struggles is a real-time collection of what it’s like to go through:
- Septum surgery recovery (day-by-day updates)
- Sinus pain management tips
- What actually helped — and what didn’t
- Product reviews (humidifiers, rinses, sprays, pillows)
- Honest answers to questions you won’t find on most doctor websites
This isn’t written by a medical professional. It’s written by someone living through it.
What Makes This Different?
I’m not here to sell you hype. I’m here to tell you what to expect before, during, and after sinus procedures — and what tools, tips, and mental strength it takes to get through it.
Here’s what I promise you:
- No fluff
- No fake optimism
- No skipped steps
- Just real talk, real experiences, and real relief when possible
Who I Am
I’m just a regular guy — 31 years old — who thought sinus surgery would be a minor thing. It wasn’t. I’ve had other surgeries before (neck, teeth, back), and this has been one of the toughest recoveries I’ve ever faced.
So instead of keeping it to myself, I’m documenting it here to help the next person who’s scared, confused, or in pain and wondering if what they’re going through is normal.
Spoiler: it probably is. And you’re not alone.
