Is it possible to MOVE deviated septum with your fingers?

Asked By:prombom17 in Mass City, MI

So I can't breathe through my right nostril. There is cartilage blocking it unfortunately. It's ruining my life but I can't do a surgery, too many complications...also i heard its closed (blind) so the surgeons wont even see what they are doing. I looked up pictures of the septum on google and I feel like if i just stick my finger up my right nostril I can eventually push my septum to the middle. of course doctors are gonna say this wont help...but they just want money, right?
