Polyps are inflammatory growths, generally related to sinusitis.
The polyps grow in the sinus cavity, or at the entrance to the sinus cavity in someone who has had infection and inflammation in the sinus cavity. Some people who do not respond to steroids may choose surgery. However, polyps tend to recur even after surgery. As a result, we do our best to avoid having to perform an operation until the problem cannot be controlled medically. If you are taking a high dose of oral steroids for a long time, muscle weakness can occur, sometimes resulting in tremors.
