Scared to death from snorting Ritilan.
by 838, Mar 28, 2009 10:01AM
I should have known better.
But for the past 4 months--give or take--I've snorted Ritilan nearly every other day. I thought, naively, that it would take longer to damage my nose.
It didn't take longer
Now there's a noticeable indentation on the side of my right nostril--just below the bridge. It's not too deep, but it's deep enough to pick up the light. Will this improve any? What can I do if it doesn't? I'm very scared. Really.
My Doctor looked inside my nose and said it looked fine. He said it was only scratched. He didn't try to say the dent wasn't there, but he sort of dismissed it. He's good, but eccentric. I haven't used any for a week and two days, and what ever nasal pain I felt is starting to improve. Could this be evidence that the appearance of my nostrils will get better as well too?
Please Help.

P.S. I also notice that the right nostril doesn't seem to have the same elasticity as the left. Does this seem likely? In light of what I just described? Or am I being paranoid? Is this bad? Will it get worse? I hope someone can help.

If your dr looked in your nose and said it's fine than there is your proof. He didn't see a hole or anything like that, and if it's just a few scratches consider yourself lucky, cause that will heal. Mine took a few months for the pain and scabs and blood to stop, blah. If a hole is made, then NO, that won't heal, but all the lining and tissue usually will. There are worse problems then worrying about your nose here. Congrats on 9 days clean, keep it that way. This is a great support group so stick around. Good luck.
