In Febraury of this year my nose got hit by my flyer at cheerleading, i started to bleed and had a lot of pain. I went to the doctors the next day my nose wasn't broken but my doctor had said i lost cartilage in my nose, and i had a concussion. Now it is may, and my nose has swelled down but i can still see it is swollen and its been this size for about 3 months now. Im worried that my nose won't go back to normal, what do i do? Will go back to normal? Its my 4th time being hit in the nose this year
