i play basketball and i got hit in the nose twice in 2 days and didnt really notice anything the first time but when i got hit the second time it started hurting. there is nothing noticeable about it but if i put pressure on the left upper side i can feel somthing push down like its going to push through the skin. Does it sound broken and if so what should i do?
thanks

Hi well to me it doensnt sound like its broken.Fractured noses affect the breathing in and out off the nose with and without pain,also your nose would looked slightly or sometimes disfigured,where the allignment off the bones are not correctly in place.Also sometimes your nose bleeds.You may off just badly damaged the cartlidge in the nose or just badly bruised the muscles surrounding the nose.I would thou pop to either your gp or nearest A/E dept just to get it checked out incase you have done something more serious which needs surgery.In the meantime just take regular pain relief and a cold compress on the area but not directly on the nose.Good Luck

The main part your nose is cartilage. The boney part that often breaks is in the top 1/3 between your eyes called the naision. If it's not causing any problems I don't think any intervention will be taken. However if it looks visibly deviated or is causing breathing problems you should get it looked at.

It doesn't sound like a broken nose. There maybe some slight swelling where you touch the nose. However, I am not a doctor. Go to your doctor and have him or her check it out. Good Luck.

babe I had my nose broken about 7-8 times. yes if it feels like that would say it broken. dont go to a& e they hurt, get a few drinks down you then just put fingers on each side of nose and pull then push back it go back into place and heal. ouch lol. do it for you if you live near by.

It sounds like it is very likely broken. You don't want to push on it as it can cause worse damage. About the only thing you can do is straighten it carefully and use a band-aid or medical tape to hold it in place.

probably broken but unless it seems actually deformed theres not a lot you can do about it. the bones in the nose have lots of hollows called sinuses (a bit like an aero bar) and because of this they break very easily but the good news is they also heal fairly quickly too

definite, whether that is not likely. It takes some stress to interrupt a bone and the tissues interior your nostril are very comfortable, so any stress super sufficient to interrupt the bone could maximum probable reason injury to the tissues interior the nostril inflicting them to bleed.

Usually with a broken nose you get black eyes (ecchymosis).
best thing to do would be to get an x-ray i think!
