I noticed today that the Vomar/Anterior Nasal Spine/Septum is moving around left to right.... Is that normal?

Question

By the way, I did get nose/throat surgery in my nose/throat surgery a month ago to fix enlarged adenoids and open up my nasal passageway by reducing the turbulence in my nose. I do have a deviated septum so we are planning 0n fixing that once my nose is fully grown, I hadn't noticed any of this before, .but it does hurt a bit. Also a few days ago i did wake up and my nose hurt quite a bit and was bleeding. So, perhaps i slept in a weird position and it hurt my nose because its sensitive?

Feeling movement or instability in the Vomer/Anterior Nasal Spine/Septum after nose and throat surgery, especially if you've recently experienced nosebleeds or discomfort, warrants attention. While some post-operative swelling and minor discomfort are normal, persistent pain and noticeable movement may indicate issues such as:
Trauma or injury: Sleeping in a position that puts pressure on your nose could cause discomfort and even minor trauma, particularly if the nasal passages are still healing from surgery.Nasal septal deviation: If you have a deviated septum, it's possible that the movement you're feeling is related to the underlying anatomy. However, significant or sudden changes in septal position should be evaluated by your surgeon to ensure proper healing and function.Infection or inflammation: Nasal bleeding and pain could be signs of infection or inflammation in the nasal passages, which may require treatment to prevent complications.Given the recent surgery and your symptoms, it's advisable to contact your surgeon or healthcare provider for further evaluation. They can assess your nasal anatomy, address any concerns about movement or discomfort, and recommend appropriate management to ensure optimal healing and recovery.
