Good Luck!
I had broken my nose 2 times by the time I was 16 (softball and lacrosse) and it was a little crooked. I also suffered from horrible allergies and would get very bad sinus infections every time I caught a cold.
I ended up having sinus surgery while in college: polyps removed and my sinuses cleared with a laser and my septum fixed all at the same time. I won't lie - the first two days after the surgery were horrible. I was fully packed, had gotten sick from the anesthetic, wasn't eating and couldn't sleep very long and had the worst headache known to man. After the packing was removed, I was much better and could rest and eat. My nose and face were still very sore and I looked pretty beat up. After about a week I think I was 100%.
A lot of people thought I had plastic surgery, but mainly my nose wasn't crooked anymore and my voice kind of changed too - I didn't sound as nasal as I used to.
Since then I've had very few sinus infections (used to get them constantly). I still have bad allergies, but they are much more tolerable now. I broke my nose once after the surgery (car accident - airbag deployed and broke it), but the Drs said it healed ok.
