Spent too much $ going to the ER to have my nose looked at. Just like the last time I had an ER visit, they didn’t tell me or do anything very useful. In fact, the doctor who looked like an extra from Days of Our Lives said that he was telling me the same thing he would tell people that come in directly after an injury to the nose that hasn’t broken the bone. Wait 6 months for the cartilage to heal and if you don’t like the look of it or if you feel it inhibits your breathing then you can go see an ear/nose/throat specialist for surgery. What I’ve got here is ‘a contusion’. Take some Advil (or ibuprofen if you prefer), wait 6 months and try to ignore the fact that your nose clicks. Thanks doc. Click click click.  
At least I got myself a fairly nifty bar coded patient bracelet out of it.
