Post-op Scare - Need Advice & Opinion Please (7 Weeks Post-op)

I didn't experience much pain post-op at all this time - in fact I threw most of my pain pills away as I just did not need them. I simply had swelling and more discomfort as opposed to pain. But NOW I have pain at top of nose, and a lump and it feels like I have movement
