Can boxers get perfect nasal breathing back?

February 17, 2019
Asked By:Pop Milton in Milton, Massachusetts

I boxed back in the day and broke my nose 3 times. The shape still looks good. However, I never had breathing problems before I boxed. My nose was perfectly clear and 100% straight. Now, my nose feels like the inside is collapsing and I constantly have to sniff to breathe. It just feels like it's totally crushed on the inside...more than deviated septum. I don't even remember what it's look to breathe normally, but I know I REALLY want to. Will I ever be able to breathe normally again?
