The thing is with the good breathright strips that don't fall off, is that they help only to a certain point. Trust me, I broke my nose training for NAGA and tried EVERYTHING there is to continue to the tournament. The strips are a temporary fix, but if the deviated septum is bad enough, it will make a minimal difference. They aren't meant to fix a deviated septum, which is a damn shame in my opinion.

In my opinion, its fully worth taking the time off to fix it if its that bad. I don't know how i trained without breathing anymore.

I had sinus infection related asthma also...the surgery cured me 80-90%...well worth it. I sleep better too!

Same thing with me, deviated septum, throat drip, also some part of the nose is inflamed inside. Getting surgery soon, will it only affect stand up because you might get in the nose? Because I dont want to take a month off.

If you get the surgery, you will take a month off... trust me. You cant get your heart rate up for atleast 2 weeks bc of bleeding, and you really wont be so happy to get popped in the nose while the stitches are still in. I tried to rush back asap, but even getting bumped in the nose before its ready SUCKS!

I had polyps removed a couple of years ago, but didn't use my nasal steroids, so they grew back.

you will probably be out for 4-6 weeks from what i've read. i have a deviated septum as well and haven't fixed it yet. without it being fixed, sleeping is a bitch. i often wake up in the middle of the night from unable to breathe right, and i can only sleep on one side because the nostril on the bottom is more likely to get congested. good luck and keep us informed
