I broke my nose by hitting the air-bag.  It feels as if I can fix it myself.  I can't really afford the 20% of the medical bills that I would have to pay.  There is no cosmetic damage, just the septum...and it is still moveable...??  Thank You So Much!!

It would be best not to do it on your own... the septum has a rich blood supply and if you damage any of the blood vessels while trying to fix it on your own, the bleeding may prove difficult to control and you may end up paying more than you would right now.

... first off, why do you want plastic surgery so much? Bleh. Waste of money and sooo fake! Well, whatever. It's your nose. You know that if you're 19, you can legally do it without parental consent?

Call a lawyer, but I'll bet you're going to have a hard time winning.\n\nAirbags are designed to deploy only when certain things are present and if any one of those things aren't present then the airbags won't deploy. \n\nYou said you hit the concrete wall head on, how fast, head on at an angle? Did you modify the car in anyway? And remember airbags are only supplemental only not primary so you were wearing a seat belt right?\n\nAnd even if you get a lawyer and s/he agrees to take it on contingency you are responsible for all expenses.\n\nWell, be thankfull you're alive.

I had a nose job, fixing the septum and removing a bump on my nose, many years ago.  I remember, my whole face was pretty swollen for about a week.  Everything is "connected" with everything else on your face--so swelling anywhere around the surgical site is probably normal this soon after the surgery.\n   Good luck!  I am still so happy I had that surgery.  Take the meds they gave you after surgery AND be sure and see your doctor for the follow-up appointments!

Ever since I was younger I had considered getting plastic surgery on my nose (nose job).  IF I were to ever get plastic surgery, that is honestly the only work I would ever have done because I am very happy with my appearance and the only thing I don't really like is my nose. I have considered it, but I'll probably never do it.  I think people look terrible after having a lot of work done and I'm afraid I might regret it or it might be terribly painful.

My 17 year old son had the same thing , I took him to a specialist .\n\nIt's caused by blood vessels that are enlarged in the nose and too close to the surface of the skin.\nJust toching, light rubbing, sneezing, caused nose bleeds.\nhe would get 1 - 4 nosebleeds a day, and that scared me.\n\nHe was given two options.\n1. Put some vasaline inside the nostril that bleeds and it won't happen as often.\n2. Have the blood vessels cauterized which is done with a chemical ( silver nitrate ) and a Q-tip and takes about 30 seconds.\nThe chemical is rubbed inside the nostril and the blood vessels are "Burned "and sealed .\n\nHe has never had another nose bleed since he had the cauterization done.\n\nIm not sure of the cost because he's on a medical program but whatever the cost would have been we would have paid it.\n\nJust in case your reasons or medical situation might be different you should see a doctor.

I had the uvula and most of the soft pallet removed - my deviated spetum worked on. The recovery was rough and took about a week before I could eat solids again. Before the surgery my wife and I could not sleep inthe same room together. Now I still snore and we sleep head to foot but its worth it. I only sore loud when i drink or when Im super tired .... \n\nProblems hmm thats funny - I cant chug a beer any more it foams and comes out my nose.  Some times I'll gag on salavia - Not sure why but I did nt do that before the surgery.

Oh man. I know it's so hard. Look at these sites, they have a lot of good ideas. I've always tried to comb that area, I heard it breaks up the broken blood vessels. Hopefully you don't have to visit your family soon!

I think if you breathe out of your nose your side doesn't hurt as much, or as fast.\n=D

No, it doesn't hurt at all actually. I didn't even feel a sting like someone else mentioned...All I felt was pressure. I've had my nostril pierced for a lil' over 2 yrs. now....\n\nI was extremely nervous before I went because I had heard stories about how it makes your eyes water it hurts so bad, & how much it can bleed...Needless to say neither of those happened to me...It bled just a tiny bit just around the piercing itself, but the piercer cleaned it up & I was good to go...\n\nClean it with Dial antibaterial soap, and/or sea salt soaks, & you'll be fine...It honestly hurts worse to get your ears pierced than your nostril...Good luck!!

I had Rhinoplasty many years ago, i woke from the op with what appeared to be, ear plugs up each nostril, and a sanitary towel under my nose, when they removed the nostril plugs, it didn't hurt as such, but felt like they went right up into my head, wierd sensation.

I had sinus surgery but it was not a pain-relieving measure, and I doubt a doctor would do surgery for sinus pain, at least not until many other options have been tried (medication, rinses, etc.).  The surgery was very painful and difficult, but was worth it terms of fewer infections and colds, removal of sinus-clogging polyps, and complete resolution of my sleep apnea (which necessitated surgery of both my throat and sinuses). You might have polyps that are making things bad, or something else that's fixable.  See an ear, nose, and throat doctor to see what can be done.  They'll stick a tube and chemicals up your nose, and it's unpleasant, but it just might be worth it.

If your friend had to be resucitated then I'm not surprised her chest hurts.  The shock that jolts a heart back into rhythm affects all the muscles of the chest, not to mention any CPR that was likely done would also have left her sore.  Restarting a heart isn't like changing a battery in the back of your watch after all.  The nose bleeds are probably due to irritation from the tubing placed to evacuate her stomach, and the mucous membranes will heal in a few days as well.   All things considered, if her worst physical problems are a sore chest and nose bleeds, then she is considerably blessed- considering the other option was death.  She is fortunate that whatever had to be removed from her stomach didn't do any damage.  It's not the usual procedure to remove things that aren't hazardous, so I'm guessing she took an overdose of something.  I hope if that's the case she is recieving some sort of mental health counseling as well.   Physically speaking, the things you are listing are normal after what she had done, and the time frame the doctors are giving you is about right.  But if she is nervous about it, she can always ask another doctor for a second opinion.

My son also had problems with runny nose cough congestion it seemed like an eternity. I almost bought stock in Kleenex and Puffs....lol. He was even hospitalized for the condition. He was on every med I think known to man kind for allergies. I finally had had enough and told his pedeatrician I wanted to see an ENT specialist. He told me that was his next option, go figure. We went to the ENT and he recommended removal of the tonsils and adenoids. The surgery went well and after about a week the pain was gone for good. He has not been sick since no runny nose nothing and has been almost a year since surgery. Don't let the child being young dissway you from the surgery. It is actually better to do it when they are young than to wait until they are older.

It can be broken and swollen, but you can walk on it.\nBut if it is, and you happen to turn/sit/stand/step wrong, it could come right out through the skin and become much more serious.\nInfection, bleeding to death, amputation, do these sound good?\nIf in doubt, go see the Doctor!

"don't THINK it was broken" Get it looked at by someone who can help know for sure and make sure everything else is OK- minor medical clinic, school nurse, ER, whatever.\n\nMost minor crush injuries (no bone damage, minimal tissue damage) can be dealt with with asprain or other pain reliever, a basic ice program (a few minutes on, longer time off to 'rest', a few minutes on...) to relieve pain and swelling, and not using the injured part.\n\nThe catch to this is that there certainly may be some other issues involved that should be looked at. Do a doctor visit soon and avoid furture problems.

I feel your pain. I dislocated each of my knees at least 3 times, each. Hurts like hell. Sloppy ligs I suppose. I would like to have all the loose floaties sucked out of my knees too. I hope to have the surgery before I turn 25 so if you find out anything worth while please fwd it to me at handymanbrandon@sbcglobal.net. I hope the surgery helps ease your knees! B)
