The picture I am showing is how it looked before and after. It's been 3-4 weeks since the incident. I am still feeling like there is a hard piece of tissue or a hard bugger is stuck in my right inside of my nose. I try to blow it out but I can't get anything out. So my question is should I go see a dr or should I just live with it? I also have a condition called CRPS, I'm afraid to have anything done because if they hit a nerve it could make my pain worse.

Answer: Treatment for a broken nose Trauma to the nose can cause a non-displaced nasal fracture, a displaced nasal fracture, it can fracture the upper lateral cartilages off of the nasal bones, and can cause a deviated nasal septum. All of these issues can block airflow to some degree. After trauma to the nose, it's important to visit an ENT/ facial plastic surgeon to document the extent of the injury. X-rays may be also necessary. Nasal surgery to straighten the external and internal portion of the nose may be required to improve airflow dynamics through the nose.

Answer: Nasal obstruction after broken nose There a variety of reasons to have a blocked nasal passage (nasal obstruction) after a broken nose. Common reasons can include swelling inside the nose, a deviated septum, or deviated nasal bones. After nasal trauma, swelling can be present for several weeks and even up to several months after the injury. I would recommend seeking out a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist to fully evaluate your nose.
