it's stuck in that bit by the bone at the top. the bit that tickles like mad if you get something lodged there.

did you try your little finger or just the traditional nose-picking one?

After you had your nose op did it bleed alot. Only my friend recently had an op on her nose and had to go in a couple of weeks later so the dr could remove the clots of blood. Maybe you've got one still up there if no one has removed them previously?

i think that's probably what it is dodgy. it did bleed for a while and they gave me a sodium bicarb wash that cleared out the remainder of stuff. it isn't working for this stubborn thing though

it seems to have moved slightly today and so isn't as irritating.

I now have an overwhelming urge to see how far up my nose I can stick my finger. Just in case of a medical emergency, you understand.

Have you tried a really firm massage of the bridge of your nose?

i've tried everything. really i have.

you'd be surprised at how inaccesible that part of your nose is.

Could the reverse of suction ie a hairdryer blast it up and down the back of your throat?
