Can you change your nose by pushing it with your hands? Due to old injury, nose bridge bones clearly felt discontinuous

...I periodically pushed the nose bone, hoping to reduce the crookedness. Sometimes my nose felt slightly tender and swollen, though the swelling was not visible. Another time when I squeezed my nose, I felt what seemed to be a tiny chunk of bone moving a bit, though this was not painful. I never had bloody nose or other symptoms and nose always felt stable. I stopped pushing it and nose does not look obviously different than it did before, so could pushing have changed the shape of my nose?
