After not having any success with nasal masks, I switched to full face masks after an ENT told me that I was a mouth breather because of my narrow nasal passages. No luck with the full faces masks either. A new ENT says I have a spur on my septum and while my nasal passges are indeed narrow, they are also swollen and reducing the swelling could make it possible to wear a nasal mask. So I am to do a nasal spray for two weeks and then switch to a nasal mask.
Does this make sense to anyone?

Re: Bone spur on septum
Spray is supposed to help a spur--how?

Re: Bone spur on septum
It's for the swelling of the nasal passages, not the spur.
