Hi, While I was taking off my shirt I bumped the tip of my nose with my hand. I felt a high level of pain the first seconds then nothing. I can not measure how strong the hit was but I felt like a punch in my face, I'm aware that after the surgery my sensation increase so I don't really know if I should worry or not. At the moment I feel something but 0 pain. May I have caused any damage ? Thanks.
