so wait. if I'm out in cold all day is that making things worse and causing more damage? if i sat in shower all day would that be better for my nose recovery? did i wait too long to start injections? will nasal moucosa improve with first month

Just protect your nose as best you can. Do you have a humidifier ( I use cool mist) Do you have any sesame oil (pharmaceutical grade preferably) or mupirocin ointment you can use to help over the next week? These things are used to "preserve" the mucosa as Drs say and will bring some moisture in, hopefully. You can help yourself in the meantime.

Have you looked at the ENS webpage "Survival Tips"? See the link on Dry Nose
