its NOT SINUS AFFECTATION, YOUR BODY GOT USED TO TAKEN THE PAIN MEDICATION. YOUR HAVING WITH DRAWS. THAT'S ONE SIGN OF WITH-DRAWN . RUNNY NOSE BODY,VOMITING, ACHY BONES ,DEPRESSION AND A FEW MORE.IT SHOULD PASS IN A FEW DAYS.
CALL YOUR DOCTOR AND ASK FOR ADVICE.

It may just be a coincidence that your sinus problems started at the same time, or there could be some kind of wierd connection--such as, if you hurt your back, you may have been on bed rest for a while, and lying down prevents good sinus drainage, which could have led to stuffiness and even a sinus infection. Also, narcotics tend to dry out the mouth (remember that cotton mouth feeling?), nose, and sinuses, which can lead to irritation of the sinus tissues. Also, spring and summer is allergy season, when most people have sinus problems. There are saline nasal sprays, such as Ocean Spray, that you can get over the counter at the drug store that might help to just soothe the nasal and sinus tissues and speed healing. If you can't find it, ask your pharmacist. It's worth a try, but if it doesn't get better, you should see your doctor. Two months is a long time for sometime to continue without seeing a doctor.

you should not be having sinus problems from painkillers. It's possible that you have some sort of sinus problem and you should see your medical doctor as soon as possible .
