Is it normal to bleed a lot after the packing is removed?

It's been 7 days since I had my septoplasty surgery done. I went in today for my follow up appointment to get packing removed. My nose bled uncontrollably after packing was removed. I sat at the doctors office bleeding for about 40 minutes. The nurse that removed packing said in order to stop bleeding ahead needed to burn the blood vessel. What she did worked! I'm a little concerned because the pain I'm feeling now is worse than when I walked in. Is it normal to bleed a lot after packing is removed?
