I've been dealing with polypoidal thickening in my maxillary sinuses for about 4 months now. There's this constant tightness behind my left eye, cheek, and ears, along with some stiffness in the left side of my neck and headaches on the left side of my head. I'm really concerned about whether this could be something serious or life-threatening. Any insights?

Based on your symptoms and MRI findings, it seems like you are experiencing symptoms related to sinusitis. To help reduce the inflammation and relieve your symptoms, you can try using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache relief. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your sinus condition.
