Hi, It's been 7 days since i had a septo-rhino, and today i noticed two things (changes) in my condition. First i can feel and see that the cast has moved a bit down (not too much) but it moved and i'm feeling some pressure on my nose from the cast, so i wanted to ask is it okay fro the cast to move down a bit and is it okay to feel some pressure on my nose (by the way cast removal days is in 3 days). Thank you very much
