TomR Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I was at a gig last night and took a few knocks, nosebleed, fat lip etc.. no big deal. Anyway i was prodding my nose earlier (not quite sure why...) and i swear it moves more than it used to, its still straight but it just got me thinking - how would you know if it was broken?

Fixed Pants™ Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Minor bumps are unlikely to break the nasal bone, but violent injuries such as a punch are. Immediately after the injury it's usually possible to tell whether the bone is broken by simply looking to see if the shape of the nose is distorted. Before long, however, swelling appears and obscures any possible damage.Until this swelling has subsided it's difficult to tell whether the nasal bone is broken or not. However, when a heavy blow to the nose is immediately followed by profuse bleeding, it’s fairly likely that it's broken. It usually takes between five and seven days for any swelling to disappear and at this time it's a good idea for a doctor to perform an examination. In the meantime, gently applying ice wrapped in a cloth or some arnica cream will help reduce the swelling. If the nose is bleeding, make sure the person is leaning forward so the blood doesn’t trickle back down the throat, and apply gentle pressure around the nose until the bleeding stops. Simple pain killers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen should be enough to relieve the pain. It's not generally necessary to have x-rays taken of a possible broken nose, since they don't help the doctor decide which treatment is needed. When they're done, it's usually for medico-legal reasons - when someone's been assaulted, for example.If the bone is broken and has caused a deformity it needs to be corrected under anaesthetic. If it's not deformed the bone will heal without any need for treatment.If one or both of the nasal passages feel or appear blocked or keep bleeding then you should request the opinion of an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist.

TomR Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Cheers, maybe it's not then. It just bloody hurts, it did bleed at the time but only a little bit. And it wasnt really a minor bump, i got clouted with some guys elbow square in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) Nice, well, it would probably hurt if you've been twatted in the nose... Just keep an eye on it and see how it goes, might be an idea to get it checked out by a doctor...Also, if it's broken bad enough you might be able to feel the break? Or just a crack... Just having a feel of my nose, i can't feel anything that might fool you into thinking it's a break...

tom s Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) Broke mine when i was six and a bit, came off my bike and landed face ( or rather nose...) first in the floor, broke it in six places. Could tell it was broken from the fact that I had a hole in the top of my nose where some bone popped out or something lol. Then broke it this year a couple of times playing rugby, got kicked in the face a couple of times. You know it's broke if its painful to touch in certain places, and chances are you'll have black eyes. Also if it is a bit dodgy from what it was before (providing it hasn't reset itself) then you should be able to get it straight again by pulling it down and moving it back straight by yourself in the mirror, or in my case by dad on the sidelines Oh yeah, and be warned, doing above will make it piss blood again...
