I'm Wondering if You Can Actually Move Your Nose Back into Place Years After I Had a Broken Nose?

Asked By:jlbst14 in Tyrone PA

I get alot of headaches and I know some of them stem from my nose being broke when I was 17, and now I'm 36. I have been able, or so I think, to manipulate by hand, the nose bone back into place. I've already been to an ENT and he told me that I was just feeling air bubbles when pushing bone back over. He performed a deviated septum repair in 2006. I still get headaches and holding the bone back to its normal position helps ease some of pain. Please help!
