Nose Pinched Hard 2 Weeks After Septoplasty - Will This Damage my Nose?

It only hurt for a split second and as of yet I haven't noticed much difference in my breathing. However, I'm now paranoid that this could damage my nose or disturb the healing process. This might seem like a ridiculous question, but I don't want to have to go through this all over again! Am I worrying unnecessarily? Laura
