Johnny P is down with it. Yes, the sinus issues/cavaties are all related. Still, I am telling you that this is different. General sinus issues/decompression, etc., are mildly uncomfortable. Say, about a 1.5 on the Butcher Bird scale of general irritability/pain. Never had any pressurization, sinus, etc., issues above a 2, maybe.

This issue screams up to about an 8.5 or 9.0 on the pain scale. One time I actually sat in the seat with tears slowly trickling down my face as we landed. Somehow this has to be a different issue, IMHO. If not, then sinus pain has an unusual pattern of severity. 100 times at 1-2 (BB pain scale), zero occurences of 2-8, and then three jabs with the icepick at the 8.0-9.0 range. These occurences hurt for hours afterwards, and one time the burst blood cells in my eye stayed around for two weeks.
