Deviations of the nasal septum due to developmental abnormalities or trauma are common but often are asymptomatic and require no treatment. Symptomatic septal deviation causes nasal obstruction and predisposes the patient to sinusitis (particularly if the deviation obstructs the ostium of a paranasal sinus) and to epistaxis due to drying air currents. Other symptoms may include facial pain, headaches, and noisy night breathing. Septal deviation is usually evident on examination, although a flashlight and examination of the anterior nasal passage may not be sufficient. Treatment consists of septoplasty (septal reconstruction).
Please see the web pages for more details on Septoplasty.

You won't be wrestling for a couple months after that surgery. You will have gauze packing and you can't make it hemorrhage by rolling around wrestling! You will mash that cartilage all out of line! Check with your Doctor. Go ahead and do what you want be for the surgery, but once the Doc lines up the cartilage your risking ruining the reconstruction!

I had the same type of surgery. I was told NOT to bump my nose or do any activities that would cause my nose to be bumped. So you will not be able to participate! But....you will be able to breath a LOT better! I put off the surgery because I was scared! Wish I had done it sooner! Get well soon! And PLEASE PLEASE do what your doctor advises! He/she knows what is best!

Your nose is going to be very sore for awhile. Don't push it.
