Suggest Treatment To Remove Sinus Cyst
I have severe sinus headaches, neck & should muscle pain. I also frequently pinch the nerves in my neck. I have a large hard boney bump behind my right ear. X-rays were taken & they diagnosed a sinus cyst in the mastoid.
They want me to have an MRI & referral to ENT. What does this mean? Do they biopsy the cyst? Should I be overly concerned? Do they remove the boney bump & cyst?
