Should i see my gp about my nose again

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have broke my nose and there is cartilage or bone sticking out near the top of my nose it is not sore and the skin has not broken. if i break my nose again what are the chances of this bone going through my eye?

I seen my gp about my nose but the strange thing is that he did not even take a proper look at my nose he said its just to late fo fix in the surgery am i being paranoid but can this bone injure my eye?

    Hi Raymond, your GP isn't worried, so perhaps you are worrying too much.  

    How much cartilage or bone is actually sticking out?

      Well, I can't see it but it does sound as though you are worrying unnecessarily.

      Your nose is probably slightly different since you broke it and because you had the old nose for how ever old you are, you are now getting used to the 'new' nose!
