Symptoms after sinus surgery?

Hi, I just had sinus surgery to remove several polyps in my sinus passageways. My sinuses for the past three months have been swollen, dry and painful. Everything was draining back into my throat. I finally had a CT scan and my doctor recommended surgery to remove them. Tried antibiotics, steriods, etc, but the polyps would not go away. Finally had the surgery on June 16th, and it went fairly well. Almost no pain, but i did have cold like symptoms which included a stuffy and runny nose. It actually felt great to have a runny nose, something I have not had in months. Well, now it is Wednesday June 22nd, and my sinuses have swollen up and there is no mucus discharge or drainage. Very, very dry. I am using a sinus rinse in the morning and night, but I am getting concerned. Is this normal? I can still breath through my nose, but right now both sinus passageways feel exactly like they did before the surgery with the polyps. Is this swelling with no discharge normal after sinus surgery about 5 days after? Has anybody else experienced this post swollen feeling after sinus surgery? I just hope somehow polyps did not reform all of a sudden. Maybe I just need to be patient. Any personal experiences are welcome. Thanks
