Title: What does it feel like to have a broken nose?
Post by: Christo on February 20, 2014, 08:36:50 am
#CHRISTOBLOG

So yeah I injured my nose, and I'm looking for a bit of an information on this, did you have any nose related injury, especially breaking?

I just want to know if it's the same thing I have. It's somewhat swollen around the sides, slightly reddish but not purple or anything on the middle/top, and I got a bit of a mini-scar in the center that was bleeding, but it stopped pretty quickly. Also the tip of my nose was kind of numb the day it happened, but I feel my nose entirely now.

Nose seems straight and even, other than the scar I mentioned. if I move it to the side it hurts kinda. can't tell 100% because of the swelling though. I can breathe somewhat ok (I always have nasal issue because of allergy or in winter because of the weather),

move fine, sleep just fine unless I really press hard on it  :lol:

I don't think it is THAT serious but I know that injury can be super sneaky, so I'm not sure.

Also how to cure this shit?

smoke some weed or drink some beer/liquor.

You should be ok.

If you can move it around with out excruciating, unbearable pain and it doesn't look crooked or uneven it probably isn't broken.

Yeah that's how I got it. An asshole attacked me in the bar I like to visit for no reason, surrounded me in the toilet with his friends, then when the staff came and I was talking about what happened he jumped from the crowd that separated us and hit me in the face again. In front of the entire staff and cameras, genius. Cops were called but I was busy stopping the bleeding to care much.

That's where this one came from, I recovered quite fast and asked everybody (it's like a small community everybody knows everyone lol) if it's fine, they said just stop the bleeding and it should be fine. Hell I am in good relation with the people who work there and got some drinks even and some really nice support from a guy I always get drinks from. One of them had a birthday and we had a really good time while my nose was all bloody!  :mrgreen:

My family makes such a fuss about it though, as if my nose was tilted comletely or something and it makes me frustrated.

Swollen nose is far from worst case scenario.  :lol:

I've had such. It's not like you will be able to tell this by yourself, you might just have a small chip broken off. It's always a good idea to see a traumatologist or whatever doctor is responsible for these kinds of things, else you risk having problems - such as a broken nose healing in a bad way or something.

THis!

Take an extreme close up, and post on a medical forum, at the very least.

Not sure if i would want to bother with a doctor, if it dosn't get worse. But! Your nose might heal leaving it somehow deformed... Not a big deal for a male, but still.
Never had mine broken, so it's just common sense. :)

Yeah, thought so as well when I broke mine, but now  I have a stuffy(?) nose all the time because of it and its annoying. So go see a doctor now Christo, who knows what kind of problems you might have years later because of your laziness today

Swollen nose is far from worst case scenario.  :lol:

So glad you brought this up... first thing I thought of!

Anyways, I've got what they call a "Deviated Septum" which occurred from a potentially broken nose. Many years back I took a soccer ball (football, I guess you might call it :lol:) to the nose, and ever since I could barely breathe out of my left nostril. I didn't really think much of it at the time, just thought it would heal with time and all. Then it became the norm, and I totally forgot about it. Then I stopped being super active, and when I went on an excruciating hike last year, I nearly passed out since I couldn't breathe. I don't have asthma or anything (as far as I know) and I noticed that even though I was breathing regularly, I just wasn't getting enough oxygen it seemed. So I went to a nose doctor (forget what their 'medical name' is) and he said that my septum had deviated somewhere in my past, most likely due to the soccer incident. Basically, it just means that after getting hit, the septum (cartilage in the middle of your nose, what separates your nostrils) was bent off to one side, and healed that way. If your breathing is perfectly normal, and neither nostril feels at all stuffy, then you should be fine. However, since you said you have allergies, you may want to visit a nose doctor nevertheless. My septum was apparently severely bent, but in such a way that you can't really see just by looking at it. I never once saw that my nose was crooked in the years since I took the ball to the face, but after learning that my nose was indeed bent, a long, long, loooong look in the mirror told me "oh, I guess, it MIGHT be considered crooked, if you look at it from this angle... under this lighting... under a magnifying glass..."

Long story short, it might look fine, but may not be underneath. If you can breathe normally though, don't worry too much. As far as what I can do to your nose if the septum is indeed displaced... well, the only option is surgery, where they have to break your nose and realign it... I have yet to go with that option.. still deciding, since being unable to breathe is a bitch. If you catch this problem earlier, I am not sure if there are any preventative measures that they may be able to take to keep your septum straight and your nasal passages clear! :P

And Logen... I'm thinking you've got the same problem as me. My left nostril feels forever-stuffy because the septum is covering more than half of the nasal passage. Might want to go get it checked and potentially go with the surgery if it is really bothersome.

Hope this helps!

Air comes out just fine, but often times it's only one nostril when I'm just sitting around, if I'm really active though then both work immediately.

That's how it is since I remember,really.

Never felt that I'm about to pass out or anything. But it might be different now, you got me a bit scared lel

Lol wasn't meant to scare yah... I only once felt like I was going to pass out, simply because I was at a high elevation and frankly working too hard. Wasn't in the best of shape at the time, but the point was that instead of 'not being in shape' and getting cramps, high heart rate, etc., I simply noticed I wasn't getting enough oxygen and had to lay down for a bit. It ain't like I'm about to pass out since I can't breathe while playing c-rpg or anything. :P

I'd go to the doctor. A few years ago I injured my nose playing rugby (3 guys tackling me at once, hit the ground pretty hard), and I felt ok after the first aid at the game, but after a couple of weeks it got worse, and the doctor basically said I would have been better off going earlier. Now my nose is slightly out of place, not really visible, but if you touch it you can feel the spot where it is displaced.

If it's broken and seems straight, remember to move it around a bit so it'll heal crooked. You'll look like a boxer and all the girls will love it.

You xantroll you  :mrgreen:

I'll go to the doc tomorrow morning. Thank you guys

If it is really broken then the guy responsible will answer for this. Because the more I read about it, the more likely that it is.

Yes see a doctor! A college of mine didn't realize his nose was broken. when he went for a doctor a week or so later the doc had to break it again to straighten it. so go see the doc before the bone starts healing.

I wouldn't use a baseball bat, but sounds good otherwise.

Oh yes, I hope you are planning to take revenge yourself, Christo, not snitching to the cops. For as the law of Omerta sayeth:

"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without police protection is both. It is as cowardly to betray an offender to justice, even though his offences be against yourself, as it is not to avenge an injury by violence. It is dastardly and contemptible in a wounded man to betray the name of his assailant, because if he recovers, he must naturally expect to take vengeance himself."

If it's straight and your breathing isn't affected much by it, I wouldn't worry, even if it is fractured in any way there isn't anything to do about it, just let it heal. My nose got broken and isn't straight anymore but I just left it to heal and it's okay, other than being slightly wonky.

Funny thing is the guy that broke my nose did it with all his mates around aswell, they were tooled up with a knife, knuckle duster and other shit so I just stood there and let him punch me about 8 times, a slightly broken nose aside he couldn't even put me to the floor. A long while after I saw him and he wasn't with his friends, I asked him if he'd like to try it again, to which he refused and basically admitted defeat before I had even swung a punch. As much as I would have liked to punch his stupid fucking face in, for once in my life I just let it go, I had him verbally cowering before me and he kisses my arse now.

Plus he must have looked like a major cunt infront of his friends considering he couldn't put a guy half his size to the floor with 8 free punches, I imagine he wanted to avoid the extra embarassment of getting his face smashed in by the same small guy.

Fucking hate these type of people, always tough in groups with their friends and/or weapons behind them.

had face-planted on ceramic tile floor once pretty hard, needless to say it was a little broken with blood gushing like a waterfall.
It would hurt excruciatingly  if i touched it at all. i checked in the mirror everyday but it looked normal as always.
then, after about two weeks later it stopped hurting.
