Nose Damage From Snorting Crystal

[Louie3496]

Well I started back in March and I've snorted a good amount from back then to these days. I've noticed now a days a that a huge line will not give me any sense of euphoria. Back then little bumps every 30 to an hour would do it for me. Also around July I fought and ended up getting my nose broken. Tell the truth after it got broken i went and rinsed it and snorted a line. Anyways i ended up getting incarcerated for about 4 weeks on August and noticed my nose wasnt like it used to be. A couple days ago one side of my nose got swollen i didnt really pay attention and then it starting hurting really bad. I got my phone turned on its flash looked up my nose with it and it doesnt look at that normal. Its dry, with yellowish spots and mucus at the farther back. And at the back of my nose is sometimes a dark or bright red. My nose isnt much use, no deep breathes, sense of smell seems to have decreased. My nose feels cheap, rubbery, weak. I just felt my septum with both fingers at the same time on different nostrils it feels like rubber almost as thin as a guitar pick. It looks white you can actually see it. Oh yes, about that pain and swelling when i looked at it with my phones flash it looks like it might be a cut with blood, pus and boogers that are super white, see through and yellow ones or it looks like it could be like an infection with the meat gets eaten away. Ive been using cutips too get some pus and blood out. Also the slightest things will irritate the fuck out my nose. Oh, and i barely began smoking crystal like 3 weeks ago cause snorting was not doing it anymore. Any ideas on what i should do?

you should quit crystal brother. if you respect yourself and appreciate your health then give it up and find a better way to live your life.

maybe try a nasal spiral to help clear your sinuses, as for the nose leave it alone and let it heal itself.

all the best

Yeah I think I'll do that. But why is it that I can't get high by snorting it? Also would you mind helping me find images of what a healthy nose should look like from the inside I've been trying to but seem to have no luck.

The only thing I can think of is that your nose might be infected and this is the reason why the absorption is not getting you the euphoria you want. Like what Laugh already said, you should find better ways to live your life. If nothing seems to help with personal maintenance with taking care of your nose, it might be best to see a doctor again to get it checked up.

I agree that this is likely an infection causing some kind of nasosinusitis. The pus is not a good sign. I would get to a doctor asap because infected sinuses following an injury to the face can eventually have some intense complications.

In the least, I would go to your local pharmacy and pick up a neilmed sinus rinse kit, or a neti pot.... something to flush out your nose with. These devices usually come with packets of isotonic solution. Use those, and follow the directions. Getting that solution in there will encourage drainage. Stop putting things like q-tips up your nose. If the objects you use are not sterile then you might introduce more infection.

Smoking will make this worse, but so will snorting. Any foreign material passing through the sinuses at this time will slow healing and lengthen the healing time. If your septum is really becoming more and more thin (and it's not just your imagination), then the tissue might be starting to atrophy... in which case, you should really get to a doctor, like, yesterday.

My septum is like super bright red. And it looks raw. It can't be my imagination cause i'm sober and nose reals real weird from the inside. But thanks i'll take the advice!

 

[ebola?]

Yeah....i'd see a doctor. and if you find yourself 'needing' to take meth, it works just fine orally.

Yes, a doctor's advice is needed.

Would you be open to telling us what your doctor says? I'm mostly just curious.

Will leave the thread open in the mean time.
