A member asked:
Nose cracks when i move the bridge. i had it broken 2 weeks ago and reset and then hit again last week accidentally. is it bad that it cracks?

Unstable : The fact that you can crack it by moving it means that bones have not healed and they are still unstable. You may actually make your nose worse if you continue to manipulate it. You really need to see an ENT doctor and have it checked out and possibly reset and/or splinted to hold it into position.
