Can somebody please help me. I’ve had a revision rhinoplasty about 2 1/2 years ago. Ever since then my nose has been hurting, growing swelling, bruising, and severely painful ever since. I have been on strong pain medication for about 2 1/half months now and I don’t think I can take them daily for the rest of my life. Can somebody please tell me what my options are? I’m at the point where I just want my nose cut off completely. I believe my nose needs to be drained and scraped
