yeah this is basically what happen to me. Iv never put anything up my nose either. The weather around here is real dry and there is no humdity during the winter time. So i would always get massive and i mean massive nose bleeds. I would rest me elbows on the counter around my sink and just let that shit drip into the sink. No use in getting a paper towel, tissue, or even tampon, cause this shit isnt stoping anytime soon. Then i would lay down and try and get it to close/dry up and it usually did. Then one day i got this nose bleed that wouldnt stop. It was like a 5-6 hrs nose bleed no fucking joke. So i ended up saying fuck it, take me to the ER pops, this shit just isnt gonna stop i need to see a doc. So we went and waited for like 45 min, i thought it had finally stoped and it was letting me go free, but no, not this fucking nose bleed. So it had stop for like 10-15 min and then all of a sudden it was like u turned ur faucet on full blast and nose was bleed all over the place once again. So finally the doc calls me into his room. And asks "So a nose bleed Huh?" He gets a kick out of my nose bleeding and is poking fun at me the whole time. What he doesnt realize is i dont give two shits about his childish humor and he deosnt realize i see threw him and I JUST WANT MY DAMN NOSE TO STOP BLEEDING! So he wants to get this one "tool" is what he called it. He must have spent 30-45 min looking for this tool. If he would of told me about this tool i woulda ran out this motherfucker. The tool was this thing that basically was a tampon, but instead of being filled with whatver the hell tampons are filled with, this tool was filled with air. It was deflated at the begining, all limp and shit. And im sitting here looking at this 6-8 inch device, and i know exacly where this fucker is going. So the doctor starts to lube this "tool" up with massive amounts of lubrication and proceeds to jam that fucker so far up my nose i start to gag and my eyes begin to water. Now that the entire thing is jammed in my nose its time to inflat. yippee! So now my right nostrile has this huge tampon looking thing with crusty ass blood and lube all around it and the other piece of the tool taped on the side of my face. The intstrument that was tapd on the side of my face was pretty big and was used to deflate/inflate this tool. So this fucker was jammed up my nose for about 4-5 days of pure and utter bliss.
I then got my nose coterized. Its where they burn off blood vessels that are too close to the surface of ur skin. Havent had a nose bleed since.
