I noticed a small hole through my septumSepta Septoplasty and went to a Rino specialist and he refused to see me becasue I had told him that I "USED" to use drugs. But see I have been clean for years now, but not after LOTS of YEARS of HARD use. I noticed the hole and got worried that if hit just right my noseNose fracture might cave in, but that Dr that I saw said that couldn't and woulndn't happen. Well, I have been having problems w/like large scabs on the sides of my noseNose fracture that blow out and somethimes have to be pulled out so that I can breathBreath alcohol test Breath holding spell Breath odor. These are on the outer side of the of the inner noseNose fracture, but looking up my noseNose fracture on a daily basis I have notices that the hole has gotten A LOT BIGGER and the area is HUGE. I don't know what to do, I am scared that if I got to another ENT Dr that he'll just tell me to go away because of the PAST DRUG use. I am really getting worried because the size of this hole is all the way through and close to the size of a dime (now it may not be that big but it is a lot bigger then a eraser) What should I do and who should I go see??? And what do I tell them to let them know that I am clean and plan to stay that way. Especially if I have to have the inside of my nose rebuildt. Again I am just so worried that if hit the right way that my bridge of my nose will cave in.
Please let me know if any of you have gone through this or you have the same thing and what can be done and should I do something about this SOON!!!!
