My nose doesn't appear to be broken, thankfully (it's big and ugly enough as it is)! The skin is grazed and the bridge is puffy, but it is otherwise not too painful. Interestingly, I have a slight persistent nose bleed inside my left nostril, but the right side is more painful and that's where the bruising is coming out - under the eye, so I'm starting to look like the victim of a bashing. I've been considering the sheering forces required to achieve that effect (an ice pack dribbling cold water onto your cheek can lead to weird thoughts).
You might want to see a doctor just to be on the safe side; it's not always easy to tell. A friend of mine broke hers without knowing it and had to have it rebroke in order to set it. Hope that isn't the case for you!
