The real bummer is that I can't breathe through my nose as it is full of dried up blood and such, but I can't blow it out either--I feel like it is just piling up down my nasal cavity


Yep, it is. But it will be over soon.

hat looks rough. Had my septum broken and straightened and was back to work the next day. No rhinoplasty.


I had a deviated septum and my right middle turbinate had completely closed off my right nostril and my left lower turbinate had almost completely closed off my left nostril. I was getting less than 20% airflow through my nose and almost no sinus drainage. The surgeon ended up taking out 4 inches of bone out of my nose and sinus region. One piece was jagged and an 1.5 inches long.

Thanks! I need to look into this. I've had the same problems my whole life, compounded by breaking it twice.


I had sinus infection atleast every six weeks before the surgery and have only had two since July. Those 2 occurres while I was living in a crappy arse medical school dorm so I am blaming it on the mold and dust (allergic to both) in that dorm. In the 6 months since I have moved out of the dorm, no problems other than occassional neti pot when the pressure builds up. I would highly recommend making an appoint with an ENT and looking in to it. Insurance covered all my expenses except the $100 surgery co-pay and $25 deductible for pain meds.

My nose isn't as serious, you can see in one nostril that the tip of the nose cartilage is bent, however it doesn't affect that nostral nor my appearance. The other nostral works pretty well but if I get a cold or something air barely passes through it when I blow out.

I guess I could get it fixed but without any medical issues related I suppose I should live with my mild deformity

Speedy recovery to you. Had my nose done about 25 years ago after breaking it a couple of times. The thing I remember most was when they pulled the cotton out the next day and it had expanded from absorbing blood and ooze. Felt like when they pulled that shite out of Arnold's nose it total recall.

And fwiw, you look a bit like a demented clown with the bandages.

Yeah Teddy, you don't sound too bad off now, but depending on your age, it may worsen.

I was having trouble putting the miles in on my road bike or just about any form of cardio. The harder I pushed, the harder it got to breathe, and it was getting worse as I aged (43 in a couple months). My throat was sore often due to mouth breathing while sleeping.

I was kinda dreading it, but as I said earlier, I don't even remember the anesthesiologist coming into the room!
Next thing I knew my wife and the nurse anesthetist were calling my name to wake me up saying it was over!

The next 2 weeks will be rough, but I hope to give a report here in about 4-5 weeks and praise the decision to have the surgical procedure.

The first time my ENT stuck a light up my nostrils he said, "Jesus Christ, how much blow have you done in your life!?!?"

Ah frick it, we all had fun back then, didn't we OP. Deviated septum is a small price to pay. Glad you got yours taken care of though, good for you.

Keep the frozen peas on your face and the pain pills popping and be sure to sleep sitting up or at least inclined. You will feel great relief after they take packing out. It feels like bloody Mardi gras beads coming out of nose but feels great after. The cast will be very uncomfortable but again feel wonderful after they finally take it off.

This is true. Take a pain pill before

THIS. It felt like they were pulling shite out of my brain when they did that. Thankfully, it only hurts for a little while, but after they do the first side, you almost want to tell them to leave the other side in.
