Rich_2k3 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Last night I broke my nose in training, whiped by a spinning hook kick. Whats the best way to get it to heal faster (if there is one) and have u ever broken ur noses?

italian_guy Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Never, I do not spar full contact anyhow and I practice since almost 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_2k3 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 Thats the thing, it wasnt full contact, it was semi , the guy was hitting way too hard and putting loads of agression into it. He threw a roundhouse; which I blocked, and then imidiately spun round for a spinning hook kick, which cought my nose. I'm now waiting to go into casuality ! (I shouldnt be laughing, lol) He was really sorry though, I know he didnt mean it. The kick is obviously targeted at the side of the head, but this one was a bit short, and whipped my nose.

Bretty101 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Ewww nasty! I've broken my nose pretty badly a few times. Give it a couple of weeks for the swelling to go down and if its restricting your breathing through your nose at all, go an see a doctor! also if it is really out of shap i'd go to a doctor to get it 'set' sooner rather then later. I don't know about getting it to heal quicker but i'd definately avoid sparring or sparring with head strikes for a while. Maybe try anti-inflamatories. I had two black eyes for weeks when i broke mine, aparently you know it's broken when they have to drill out your nostrils so you can breath!

Rich_2k3 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 Yeah when ur eyes go black u know its broken. I think mines only a minor injury, it doesnt seem to be out of shape and I can breath fine, but it has swelled up on one side (I think its called a haemotoma), it may be broken underneath. My right eye where the swelling is has gone abit black. Bretty how long after u broke urs did ur eyes go black and how bad. Also did urs swell up and how long did it take to go down? thx 4 the imput by the way.

shotochem Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Once but in two places!!!! or does that count as twice????? After 2 weeks they had to re-break and put it back where it belonged. Then it took about a month before it was relly back to normal. (No, it wasn't from training in case youre all wondering ) Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

stl_karateka Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Broke mine back in Oct 03. Wasn't too bad though -- major swelling but it was a clean break and they didn't have to reset it. Was out for sparring for about 6 weeks. Take it easy and don't do anything to make it worse KarateForums.com Sempai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzcraig Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I thought for a sec that my girlfriend broke mine last week. she was sitting cross legged on her bed and I had her arms and was letting her go off the side of the bed while still holding on, well I guess I let her go to far and she spazzed out and had a reflex and accidently kicked me in the bottom base of my nose! It made a crackin noise and hurt like crap. She felt soooo bad and it hurt for like 3 days......but never I broke it. #1"The road to tae kwan leep is an endless road leading into the herizon, you must fully understand its ways". #2"but i wanna wax the walls with people now" #1"come ed gruberman, your first lesson is here.....boot to the head" #2"ouch, you kicked me in the head", #1"you learn quickly ed gruberman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
