bridge of my nose hurts, chronic

Hi.  So I naturally have a bump on my nose.  However, one side of my nose, the bone is like.. more pronounced, which gives my nose a kind of crooked appearance.  The side with the bigger bump always hurts.  I've noticed it for at least a year or so, maybe 2.  It gives me heachache kind of, the bone hurts, and it always feels like it has pressure on it.  I'm not sure if the pain arises from my hatred of my nose or not, but I'm pretty sure it's actually there... The only time I've ever really injured my nose was when i was like 6 (I'm 20 now), when I accidently kicked it with my knee and made it bleed (the bleeding stopped and I never went to the doctor or anything).  The only other times I hit it, it didn't bleed.  I'm not sure if this is just how i was born or not, but I'd really like the pain to go away...  it's not extreme but it definitely interferes with my life because I hate my nose and the pain/pressure is a constant reminder of my disproportional nose and it just makes my hatred of it worse, plus the pain is annoying.  I'm afraid that my nose is like growing or something and becoming more deformed.  I don't know what to do about it... I feel like I'd have an easier time accepting my nose if the pain wasn't there.

Oh, forgot to add that I can't even wear any type of glasses longer than a few minutes.  They put pressure on my nose, which eventually leads to pain, which triggers the headaches.  I really hope the cure does not involve surgery....

I have the same problem  When I was 11, I was hit in the face with  a tether ball, and ever since then I got routine headaches.  The doctor told me that I had a slightly deviated septum but I never thought much into it back then.  Then about two years ago,(I'm 23 years old), a broom hit my nose and that made it hurt really bad.  Now, every time I touch my nose it hurts, (even if  touch it lightly), and sets off a severe headache.  And I've noticed a small bump on the right side of the bridge of my nose.  It's hurting right now! I just can't understand why it's still so painful 2 years later.
