How Can severe Sinusitis Be Treated?

I believe I have chronic sinuitis and have been on antibiotics and predesone yet nothing seems to workI am going to look to see a doctor about surgery. I am located in North Carolina and never had this problem before yet it is going on about ten years. I have had a cat scan and it shows that my sinuses are completely full of mucous. I am considering going to Duke,Cleveland Clinic or Boston Mass. I also have had chronic fatique in my past which may cause come of the problem .I have a doctor who seems half motivated to help me. What would you suggest I do .I need to work but cant seem to get rid of this problem.Also, I lived in the North (Ohio and Illinois most of my life and am considering going home.

Hello!
I have been through your question.
You should know that except the surgery and antibiotics exist and an other method to treat chronic sinusitis called Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology. This is a endoscopic, catheter-based system for patients suffering from sinusitis.
The technology uses a small, flexible, Sinus Balloon Catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring normal sinus drainage and function. This is safe and less invasive with balloon sinuplasty, because there is no cutting of nasal bone or tissue.
I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
