My nose is traumatized
I went to the chiropractor this morning, expecting to get another muscle reactivated. I have five left, in case anyone cares. But he said that the results weren't what he wanted, because, after all, he has a reputation, so he suggested that we try sticking a balloon up my nose and inflating it. Okay, so the procedure actually has a real name - cranial something, but that's pretty much the gist of it. And if it sounds painful, that's because it is. He did it four times in each nostril, and pumped it three times apiece. I could feel the bones cracking around up there. He said there might be some sensitivity later. Some. Try a lot. I've had to blow my nose all day and it really hurts. Enough that I left work early, because I'm a big baby. I'm hoping it will help with the sinus problems, though, because I'm really tired of waking up with my head feeling stuffy everyday. In case you're wondering, it was marginally less painful than the Q-tip procedure, and took a lot less time, so between the two, I'd definitely recommend the balloon. Although not having anything stuck up your nose is probably the best option.

I'm sorry for your nose. I'll refrain from having things stuck up my nose.
