How Can I Tell if my Nose is Just Badly Bruised?

tdurrin
I was punched in the face by a security gaurd 11 days ago. I had a nice red mark across the bridge of my nose for almost a week. The bridge and the right side of it was very sensitive any time I touched it. After about a week the swelling went down and I could feel the bump on the bridge which is still very tender. I dont hear anything crack if I try and move it a little. Is this normal for a badly bruised nose or is there something more I should have looked at?
