Should I be able to shift my septum side to side?

katbusiek
A long time ago I injured my nose and since then I’ve noticed some changes in my nose. It used to point downwards and now it points up. I have a mild deviated septum (a doctor told me while shoving a camera in my throat). I have chronic sinus infections. And I have move my nose. I can push my septum around. I’ve seen my nose straight and crooked. I can grab my septum and shift it around left to right. It kinda hurts so I don’t do it very much.
