Absolute agony - please help

Hey,

Please can someone help me. I posted a few weeks ago about having excruciating pain in my nose further to a long history of cocaine abuse. I haven't taken any cocaine for almost 6 weeks now and the pain is getting worse every day.

I can't sleep, I can't concentrate and I'm so so scared. The pain is raw, agony to touch and pressure all around my nose. Shooting pains in my eyes and a searing headache that doesn't go away. My nose simply looks and feels like it may be collapsing. There's also a clicking noise that sounds like someone crunching their knuckles in my nose....

I also wake up choking if I lie on my back as if my nose is almost slipping down my throat - it's truly truly horrible.

Please, has anyone had this and it's just got better? I thought the pain would ease but every day is getting worse. If someone could just tell me that it takes months but I will be ok... I just need to know there's an end in sight....

Any replies would be so appreciated.

Thank you x

Doctor. Go to one please.

Pain that increases in a wound over time is usually a sign of infection, which is my guess for for what's going on with you.

Go to a doctor and get treatment! Don't let it get worse!
