Hit my nose
So i was drinking at my friend's yacht club, and I guess i had more than a bit too much, because i blacked out and im told i fell on some rocks and cut up my nose and face pretty badly. there was a little swelling at first (no bruises), and of course it was cut, but i dont think i broke it. it didn't hurt very badly, and the swelling went down very quickly with some ice and the cuts are healing swiftly. but now when i touch my nose, i feel like it is more wiggly at the bottom, like there is less cartilage and more flesh. i also see and feel a small bump at the bridge which was never there before. the doctor had a look during a physical a few days after, without x-rays, and just told me to keep using antibacterial cream.
is there a way that the look and feel of my nose can have changed without having actually broken it? or am i just being paranoid and self-conscious?
thanks!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
I find that I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
The small bump on the bridge of your nose concerns me more than the tissue at the end of your nose. The fact that the bump on the bridge of your nose was not there prior to your fall warrants further examination. Does the loose skin at the end of your nose have anything to do with the bump at the bridge? Possible, but since I am not a doctor I can’t say for sure. I would see a plastic Surgeon, or an Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. My advice comes under the heading of being safe rather than sorry. If the doctor suggests X-Rays, MRI or CT scan to rule something out it is well worth the time to have it done.
