Sinus

There was an article in the Star Two on 'fibromyalgia' which associates with headache, neck, lower back pain and legs.

On the other hand, there's also an article in Reader's Digest, Dec 2009, on 'Aching Body? Check your sinuses'.

The aches and pains in your body could be all in your head- specifically your sinuses.

It's even possible that your arthritis, fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome is a misdiagnosis of pain and tiredness resulting from recurring sinus infections, says Professor Alexander Chester of the Georgetown University Medical Center.

He estimates that half of people with chronic sinusitis have symptoms such as serious body aches and fatigue.

The pain can be all over but more pronounced in spots such as the shoulders, neck and hips.

  1. I am a broken record here but I have to say again, try a neti pot! Keeping the nasal passages clear can go a loooong way toward helping w/ any ENT issues, as well as with general aches & pains.
    I have also seen a number of people who still need additional measures after having sinus surgery. This is another case where "options" become key and many are turning to newer alternatives like balloon sinuplasty.
    Take care.
