its normal for your nose to feel numb or tingly or sensitive etc or to not be able to move properly for a few weeks or even months after surgery. but if it has been more than 3 months or if it is causing you significant pain it might be an issue. i would see your doctor.

I'm not sure what you mean by strange. If you nose feels some vibration from your voice I would think that normal since to correct the broken nose the generally have to break it and reset it.
Now if you are in pain that is a different story. I would expect you to be in a certain amount of pain especially on the day of surgery and then as your nose heals and the insult of the surgery diminishes the pain will go away. Doctors use a scale of 1 to 10 to gage how much pain a person is in as each person tolerates pain differently.
A pain score of say 1 to 4 is minor pain; 5 to 7 moderate pain and 8 to 10 major pain. If your score is 8 to 10 with pain medication being taken then you need to call the doctor. You either need stronger pain medication or you have an infection. A score of 5 to 7 with pain medication is up to you as to whether or not to call the doctor. It could be that an infection is starting or you may want to put an ice pack on the area to see if this helps bring down your pain score. Most people can tolerate a score of 1 to 4. Icing the area generally will help lower the score.
Due to an auto accident a number of years ago I suffer from chronic so I am well acquainted with and what it feels like and how to deal with it, but I am not a doctor. So if you are concerned check with the doctor who fixed your nose.

if you are hurting really bad you should tell someone because it can get effected so you should talk to someone about that
