misshapen nose?

i have noticed now my nose is healing (from cocaine) that it is mishapen from the outside, my bf says it looks normal but you know your own nose right.... well any way on the side that it is bad when you look straight on at it it goes in then out then in again like a small s bend like the septum is bent a ,little, is this because the tissue is healing and part is healing quiker than the other or is it because i didnt notice before? do you reckon or does anyone know if when the tissue heals this will go back straight again as i think it may just be the tissue inside the nose where it has not regenerated yet. please if some one knows answer me.

39 days clean today. well again i made a good 80 plus before the relapse lol.

congradulations, on getting clean
the only suggestion i have it that you may have a deviated septum, or just a really irrated nose
my husband snorting coke during the 80s, i am a junkie so snorting wasnt my bag
but i have seen coke heads completly flatten their noses, by pressing down with their hands, their septum was gone
and my husband has shared storied about nose problems as a result of cocaine, his nose i fine now, try to stay calm, you are clean now, and hopefully going to na meeting to keep you safe,
try and google deviated septum from cocaine use, look at symptoms
see if they fit

so how does his nose look now is hios deviated? can you tell from the outside? im hoping it is just irritated not deviated

[mtgoat911]

my hubby did not have a deviated septum, if so he would have needed surgery
this is gross, and actual chunk of his nose feel out when we was younger as a result of snorting
and his nose is fine now
i have to get off here soon,
but i will check in tommorow
if you stick your finger up your nose can you feel a hole? scabs? or is it just really flexible?

[lb87]

no not at all its healing real well it gor thinner inside but is healing now no hole that i can see/reach a small dent just under the bridge which i think is worn away tissue, i dont think i have deviated my seotum it looks out of dhspe from outside but i dont think i got to the cartalidge which is the septum right? just corroded the tissue arounf=d it,

im hoping it looks out of shape because of this and will change in time.

cool me too will check tomorow :)

damage to the nose as a result of cocaine use will NOT HEAL. it may form scar tissue, but it is cartlidge and will not regrow. sorry to burst your bubble on this one, but it has been researched and found that the above is true.
congrads on the 60 dayz!! but if  you want your nose to feel betta and not have any more damage, ya gotta quit snorting coke.

Hey Ib, haven't seen you on here for awhile. So happy to see you are still clean, i think we relapsed the same night, lol. ok that's not funny. glad it's healing and congrats on those 39 days:) How are the cravings now? I hope your doing well.

[lb87]

how are you doing? xx

[gizzy32]

I am doing great now, feel so much different past couple weeks. It is so hard getting back up from a relapse, messes with the head. I do wish you would come on a bit more, not many here addicted to coke. At least your cravings are occasional now and i swear they get better and less intense. I think i have learned now to never ever let my guard down, that is dangerous. Im so happy to see you clean and sharing the same clean date with me now. If you mess up, i will beat your ***, ha. cheers:)

[lb87]

Competition now is it, well i never like to be a loser ;)
