I am worried nonstop that I am going to ruin my septoplasty by breathing in and out too hard or using a Q tip to get stuff out of my nose. Whenever I yawn or laugh my nose hurts. I had my post op appointment today and he said everything looks good and I am 5 days post op. They took my splints out. I know direct contact could mess up my nose but should I be this worried about it?
I know its sounds bad but i have very bad allergies and had them from birth, that means i need to blow my nose alot and i do, sometimes i get carried away and blow furiously and alsl try to pick my nose briefly untill i realize that what im doing is wrong. Thankfully i havent bled or suffered any significant pain, did i ruin my septoplasty? Yours, Adham
A friend of mine went to lift their head as I was looking at them and the back of their head collided with mine causing my nose to bleed for about 10 minutes and I was intense pain afterwards. A day later I still have tenderness and pain and when I rinse my nose with water there's a stinging pain. Plus I think I'm developing bruising where my original deiviation was before surgery. What are the chances I'll need a second surgery to fix my nose??
The night that I got my surgery I was half asleep and on pain pills and I tried to pick out my splints. I guess I just thought they were boogers or something. I didn't feel any pain any pain or bleeding after I did it and I stopped as soon as I realized what I was doing. It was only for a minute but I'm scared that the pressure of me trying to pick them out could've shifted my septum or something. I really hope that I didn't ruin it.
