Asked By:jinsey in Fort Myers, FL

9 months ago I was playing in left field during a softball game when someone had hit a fly ball so high in the air that it came down in a perfectly 90 degree angle onto my nose. It hit it perfectly in the middle, right where the bone on my nose starts. (Not the cartilage). I had swelling for 3 weeks but only had a small fracture. But now a small bump on my nose is the result. It's hard and literally feels like it sits on the bone of my nose. It looks so dramatic from a side view. What is it?
