sinus pain in nose - what does it feel like?

Half of my nose hurts so badly I could not sleep, feels like it's in the bone, but I do have headaches and a stuffy nose and and a scratchy throat, so it could be sinuses?
Shall I get self to the doctors, or will it go away?

It feels like hell on earth! Try Sudafed if that doesnt work you might need anti bs.

When I had sinusitis it felt like I'd been punched on the cheek bone. GP suggested inhaling steam with olbas oil and it really helped.

for me sinus pain feels more like jaw pain, and I have an insane urge to chew gum or something equally chewy. I imagine it's what babies feel like when they're teething, hence the constant knawing. I also feel like I want to smash my face with a hammer because the pressure behind my cheeks is so great. Really unpleasant.

It's my nose, the bone, on the side and the bridge. It's really sore. Also behind the eyes and towards the ears and the top jaw.
Will try and see the doctor tomorrow.
meanwhile stocked up on Sudafed.

You've smit me! I was nice and answered and now I'm in agony!

I tend to sit with my head resting on the freezer drawers for relief, I would go through child birth without pain relief before I suffer with sinus again. I tried solpa-sinus which helped but ended up at GP for an antibiotic as my check bone area and forehead had swelled up, I could not move my head with the pain, I was dizzy when I bent forward, had no spacial awareness and the most awful ear and jaw ache and I kept getting optical migraine from the nasal drip. I am on a dual antibiotic for 3 weeks Shock

Oh bugger!
My nose is hurting and itching is swollen.
It's really bizarre.
GP gave me antibiotics.
It could not be anything else, though?
Sorry Cocolepew.
Terribly sorry.
