If that's permanent (as in you never can) you can go see a doc if you want--you may be in for a free (insured) nose job. There is also some research as to whether it makes you more likely to get sinus infections as well.

Well it's been 11 days since post #1. If you haven't gone to the doc now fucking forget about it. Most doctors won't even mess with a nose after it's healed unless it seriously effects resperation.

Try an anti-inflamitory / nasal decongestant and see if it helps. Swelling in the sinuses is a bitch. So are the subsiquent infections that usually follow any sort of injury like this.

Oh!!!! And next time go to a fucking doctor first then come bitch tous about how bad it hurts. It's bette to have a doc say it's fine and it be a fact vs one of us speculating it's fine and it really not be. I have a personal sports doc that gets to see my monkey ass at least twice month for anything from broken ribs & dislocated toes to mat burn and ingrown hairs. But then again I have kick ass insurence.
