Hello. Two years ago i had Rhinoplasty+FESS because i had a nose hump on the top of my nose and a deviated septum. However since that day i have nose pain on both sides where the hump was removed and also some swelling, it has a crooked shape too. Later i did Septoplasty+FESS again because sinusitis appearedand, also i had lack of cartilage and double cartilage in some places. However the pain remained. Sorry for the long post but any ideas why i have pain and swelling?
