Breathing Problems and Cracking Noise in Nose. What Can I Do? (photo)

newyorknewyorkbob
Hi, I believe I fractured my nose a long time ago and have been uncomfortable with the shape of my nose ever since. I can only breath through one nostril at a time (periodically changes) and I can force it to switch by pulling on my nose to unobstruct the other nostril's pathway. On that note, whenever I pull on my nose I can hear this cracking noise. So what do you guys think is it broken and can you id the deformity. I posted 3 pictures if you need full face let me know.
