I'm always a bit concerned about jumping in with surgery, I'd agree, have a chat to your doc first.

I guess your treatment would depend on the duration, intensity and frequency your of symptoms, I'm just wondering if a more conservative approach may be worth trialling first.

From what I can see, the boring out approach seems to work for a while, but eventually symptoms do tend to return , although I'm told the laparoscopic techniques available today, result in faster post op recovery, with less complications

Could always do nothing, and review in 3m.

(Noticed how many sinus problems posted on M&H this time of year).

If you fly planes, then I guess at the very least you need some form of imaging to the region. If you sit in an office then you can probably afford the watchful waiting game
