RF turbinectomy - down time?

Posted by ZZZZ on September 17, 2002 at 08:31:29:

Hi All,
I'm scheduled for an additional RF turbinectomy this thursday to remove additional tissue. It's a little supplemental work to complete the septoplasty/turbinectomy last year.
Can anyone tell me what the pain level is like? He will be concentrating on one area on the right side. I'm thinking that I will just return to work on Friday with some ibuprofen for pain. Is this realistic or should I take the Friday off?

Thanks again for any feedback......
ZZZZ
