I'm planning on having a rhinoplasty at the end of this year. However, about a month ago I fell very hard and got two black eyes and a cut on my nose. All the bruising and swelling is gone but if I happen to hit my nose on something it hurts, it's obvious that it shouldn't hurt. If I don't hit it then its fine. Is it normal to hurt like this so long after a fall? Or did I maybe fracture my nose/will that affect my rhino later this year? Breathing is fine and my nose doesn't hurt to touch.
