I have had sinusitis headaches for all my life or could it be chronic?

       I'm only 13 years old but I've had a headache for almost if not all my life.  When was about three I said "I have a headache" to my parents.  I've tried tylenol and dozens of antibiotics but nothing seems to work.  I've also had surgery twice.  But after that i get another sinusitis infection again.  Could anything work possibly?  My parents and I have looked and looked and looked for info for anything that could help. What can help??       For I R Patrick =\

 

I am a reject of sinus surgery.  It ruined me.  As far as what to take to help with sinusitis, I don't know.  My sinuses have been checked out and are OK.  Since the surgery I have had vision problems and headaches.  I wish I could help you.  Someone will come along soon.

Oh, another note...I had sinus infections and "sinus" headaches for 9 months straight before we found the cyst...it was removed, they promptly returned if they ever even went away...

Finally got rid of the infections, but I still have them several times a year although they are not constant like they were...

I eventaually came to the conclusion that the headaches were migraines and a disease instead of "sinus" headaches and now they are treated with preventative medications daily, and abortives/rescue medications as needed and I live a much more productive live.

See a doctor and find out what the bottom line is. A CORRECT diagnosis is first step and knowledge is your best line of defense!

I also am always told I have sinus problems.  I also have had surgery with no relief.  Fortunately my problems didn't start until my eary 20's.  I was at the emergency room last night and had a doctor say that I have problems in my neck that bring on symptoms of sinus headaches.  He said it is a rare disorder, but usually misdiagnosed as sinus related.  I am going to a new doctor today.  He is a DO not an MD.  This is also what the emergencyroom doctor told me to do.  He said DO's work on muscles and bones.  I will let you know what I find out this afternoon.
