I had the operation which included straightening of the septum in August and have had a runny nose ever since. The surgeon was a leader in his field, so it wasn't bodged. Why is this happening and will it ever end? I feel like a coke-head sniffing all the time.

You are experiencing a "new" nose from the inside. Including a more direct flow, which your body is not used to. You're getting the sniffles from how it is used to operate. Your sinuses will take a while to figure it out.
Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I've been doing it at work too.
The buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.
You can do this a often as you like with no bad side effects.
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info the American Academy of Otolaryngology)

I don't know how this is related but I had a tooth pulled, a far back tooth and it left a hole in the roof of my mouth that my dentist sewed up and now 2-3 years later I sniffle and snort all the time like a coke-head, like you mentioned.. it's very bothersome.. but the dr said it would go away one day.. yeah right.... when....

A runny nose is a small price to pay for a nose that you are happy with.

What you have is rhinorrhea. Speak to the surgeon who perform your septoplasty and see what he recommends.

its a cold given to you by a chemical in the injections they give you before you 'go under the knife'. see your doctor if it lasts for more than 3months.
