Nose cartilage pain, no redness or swelling

I had my nose operated on 9 years ago (deviated septum) and ever since then I have had face pain around my nose and eyes plus constant headaches.. Checked back with doctor and he did not see anything wrong. About 3 years ago the pain got worse covering my whole face and back to my ears. Also my face is hot with no temperature. Doctors have tried a lot of things with no good results. Now my headaches have gotten worse so I just had a CT done and the bridge of my nose is "crushed" (I am 71 and nothing I can think of that would have caused that). I have a consult coming up, but would like to be prepared before it so I don't have to be in pain any longer that I have to be. It seemed like everything started with the first operation 9 years ago, but pain has increased since then and nothing found to help. Hopefully this CT will help the doctors, but would welcome any options from someone the clinic. Thanks

Hi, @hispoet1 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sounds as though it's been a long journey with your nose and issues following the surgery. I had surgery for a deviated septum a number of years ago, but didn't happen to have any issues (aside from some time in nose packing).

We don't offer professional medical advice in this community, but do like to connect members with others who have had similar experiences. Please meet @johnbishop @marinelastef @johnj101 @heatherfeather @ninskieb. Hoping they can offer some support with all the pain you've undergone and may have some ideas for you on your face pain and headaches.

When is your upcoming consult, @hispoet1? Does anything help give you relief at all for your pain?
