Th the upper area/bridge of my nose is swollen and bumpy/crooked 'm starting to bruise under one eye and feel some headache pressure and a little pain but mostly only when I touch it. No blood from inside and it doesn't seem like I obviously broke it--doesn't look terribly crooked etc. but its possible.
1) if its not really bleeding or obviously displaced, do I need to see a doctor or just wait until swelling resolves?
2) is there any danger in working out (exercise bike?)
3) if I broke it, should i finally get that nose job I've been thinking about for 10 years?! (I have a large nose for my petite face,but it was always straight, just a bit too long and bulbuous at the tip. Now I have a large nose with a bump--though that might go away). I mean, this is the perfect time to get plastic surgery--I'm working from home and can wear masks out!!! On the other hand, I'm almost 50 so is it worth it...
Honestly, it sounds broken. Min did that years ago. I went to the ER, they did nothing, and then it healed crooked. I had a nose job done to fix it about 2 years later.
You are fine to work our if it’s not bothering you when you do.
