Hey Tyler
Thanks for the reply.
Well, I think I got it to work a little bit tonight. I've tried about 5 times. I have found that on the right side before it felt like a strange pressure that made me want to not pump any more air, as though I would burst a vessel. Here's what I did. When I went into a higher turbinate (not sure if it was middle or upper, I can't really tell yet), and I made sure it was deep in where there could be no doubt I was in the open space behind the turbinate, I inflated until I got that uncomfortable pressure behind the eye and in the nose. What I had to do was relax my body, sort of, and let it sit there for a few seconds, and then there was this very strange release sensation where I felt a blood vessel or something pumping, but a definite change in sensation, as of movement. So I held it there, and pushed myself a little more by pumping more air, and next thing I know, it happened again. I felt like I was onto something so just allowed my body to relax while pushing air in. There were subtle "click" noises but no definitive "pop" yet.
It does feel like I made some little bit of progress, though, so thanks for everyones support. It kinda feels weird like getting hit in the nose, the cartilage is a little sensitive, but I cannot deny a different sensation in the head of clarity and space. You know, I thought this was kind of funny, I guess I didn't realize just how much air I had in the balloon, because when I twisted the release valve to let out the air, I was almost disappointed by the sensation of "returning to normal" and losing all that air
