I’m a pretty frequent coke user (3x a week, about .5-1g each use). I really do not want to stop. Been doing this on and off for about 5 years now. I’ll take breaks for months and come back to it.

Lately, I’ve been having some really painful side effects like my nose just burning after a night out, my eyes will water profusely and I’ll just be miserable. There’s a nice little divot in my nose but it has not perforated through. I’ve also noticed burning in my sinuses and roof of my mouth. My after care is basically saline spray and nose blowing but I’m sure there more I can do to try to mitigate further damage.

I know the only real prevention is not doing it at all but I really.. don’t want to quit.
 
I really don't know of any other method besides what you use to clean your nose. In my experience, I used to take more cocaine so that my nose would go numb and stop hurting. But I felt an intense burning inside my nose when I didn't use it, I hated it, it's one of the reasons besides the psychological reason why I stopped taking it like I used to. Look for another route of administration such as smoking it... although I do not advise it. Lately I only use it on rare occasions, once a week at most, this way I don't feel like it hurt my nose as much.
 
As unhelpful as this is.....I'd be more worried about my heart.

Without a slowing down the use, I'm not sure there's much more you can do to help prevent further damage.
 
You could take your coke and dissolve it in water and then add tiny bits of baking soda until the pH is 7.0. the free base is not going to precipitate out at a neutral pH.

Then put it in a nasal spray bottle and use it that way.

You'll have a pH neutral solution that won't burn your nose (as much) with a little bit of salt in the water as well.

How clean is your blow? If it's cut God knows people use these days.

So....I hadn't snorted anything in years and did coke again and ....Just continued on amd off for a month.....but like a lot during that month. I went through 3 ounces this past month.....my nose is absolutely hit. I started scouring the internet looking for ways to medicate the initial burn a couple of weeks ago and everyone was talking about saline spray amd rinses.....I sincerely think I made it worse with how much I was doing nasal rinses....Imy nose is all swollen and I saw a hole on each side of my nose. Im going to stop all together after I finish the last part of this bag but im doing the rest with plugging/boofing, which seemed odd as a 40 year old man that is straight....but I tell you what.....now that ive figured it out. Holy Shit I never want to do another way ever again! Im go ma take a break for a minute after this bag but it has set up a whole new world of possibilities....
Sorry about the rant....you know....coke and all......
 
3 ounces in a month is like 3 grams a day. You are lucky you aren't dead. Maybe stop right now because that's just what you gotta do if you don't want rapid deterioration of the rest of your health

Thank you for your feedback. Please think about what you’re going to say BEFORE saying it. Honestly, with all due respect, none of us are here for some random dude to tell us how lucky we are not to be dead.
I will speak ONLY FOR MYSELF by saying this, having life experience with addiction:
there ARE WORSE THINGS THAN DYING.

I don’t like being disrespectful to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Boofing is legitimately the next best thing to slamming IME. I was getting my arms chewed up on Morphine for a while then figured, the capillaries in the rectum are literally 1 cell thick and designed to absorb water (and whatever water has in it)

The rush isn't*quite* the same but it slaps like an angry bish I tell ya
