hey i went to the doc and she said i had sum MINOR barotrauma and gave me sum nose drops to help clear the tubes and equalize the pressure.. she said iw as fine to dive by monday... any opinions?
 
First try the medical board.
Second, what kind of baro trauma?
Third, how can it be said that you will be fine without knowing how you will respond to Tx?
Im thinking you don't have baro trauma but just made that assumption?
 
If its a problem with your ears, you'll know when its cleared up - no more fullness or crunchy sounds. Do not dive until it is 100% cleared up. Most people who experience middle-ear barotrauma (if thats what you had) have some fluid in the middle ear. This can be dangerous to dive with, I'm told. Give it plenty of time to clear up..
 
The last thing you want is medical advice from people who have never seen you and whose credentials are a mystery to you. Follow your doctor's advice. It sounds like it must be a pretty minor problem.
