Broken Nose 7 Years Ago from a Golf Ball, Very Sore Pain in the Nose and Surrounding Bones Could It Be Related, And/or Serious?

Question

David Shifrin, MD · Answer

A remote history of a broken nose (7 years) could be the source of recurrent pain. As the weather and humidity levels change, old healed fractures can swell and cause pain. 7 years is a very long time though. It's more likely due to seasonal allergies, recurrent trauma to the nose or underlying sinus issues. I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for advice and treatment if necessary.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A  broken nose can cause a deviated septum and bone spur formation the internal portion of the nose which can lead to headaches. Chronic sinusitis can also cause facial headaches as well.  Best to perform a CAT scan of your nose and sinuses  to delineate extent of the facial headaches  and any associated deviated septum.  A closed rhinoplasty approach is considered cosmetic and can straighten the crooked nose.

Peter E. Johnson, MD · Answer

If you have developed sore in the nose or sinus recently, chances are you have a new problem not related to your nasal fracture of seven years ago. Best to see you primary doctor or ENT to sort things out.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

Might be related in that it may have caused a septal deviation that now contributes to sinusitis.  You may want to see an ENT Surgeon for evaluation.
