    One trainer is forcing me to fight but doctor advised me not to, also I'm looing into another gym where the trainer told me it wasn't a problem if I didn't fight and I could train there.

    If you don't want to fight tell your coach to **** off.

    It's bad enough he's trying to force you to fight when you don't want to but to push you even after a doctor advised against it is stupididty. Your coach is a ******.

    Thanks thats what I'm doing now looking for a new gym, and found one were the trainer understood the problem.
    Even though I did spare about a dozen times at the old gym he wanted me to fight/spare and told me to use headgear, and started telling me I ain't a boxer because I couldn't fight then I told him to eff off.

    Dude with all respect screw your coach, he just wants to put you for fights for the club and thats it. Doesn't give a **** what problems you got, find another gym with a coach who cares. Mind explaining what rhinitis is?

    He told you to use headgear? So he should.
    Rhinitis is just the term for a stuffy nose.
    You sound like someone who is making excuses and doesn't want to compete. If you don't want to train for a fight just fitness then you tell the coach and they wouldn't have a problem. If you say that you want to fight a coach is going to invest more time and effort into you, if you then say you've got a runny nose and you can't fight because of that I'd get pissed off at you as well.
    Why'd the doctor say you shouldn't fight? Is the stuffy nose due to a cold, hay fever or what? The only way I think a doc could say that it's a problem is if you have a virus, but if that was the case I don't think you'd be complaining about a stuffy nose...

    Its actually a chronic rhinitis, because several glands of my nose don't function properly and cause a very big inflammation, its not that of the common cold

    I actually did compete in several fights but it was bothering me alot and checked with a doctor, and told me to only do things that couldn't come in contact with my nose and those cage headguards were recomended

    Its actually not temporary, I gotta take some medicines and it takes tome to stop the inflammation, because if not I tend to have nosebleeds, but I found about a trainer that could help me.
    The trainer thats trying to force me is a boxing trainer at my college, since its not in my hometown I only get to go home on weekends and I found a good gym their that the trainer is an older guy an ex boxer that told me he would spare with me and help me with that and take care and train me without ever putting me at risk about my condition, but the problem or question I would have is if I could do one boxing session a week, since I'm at my last 3 semesters of college the best I could do to train at that gym would be 2 times a week then I will finish school and go back home and work and start training at that gym, I just really don't want to stop training for about 3 to 4 months in between when I go home for vacations any opinions?

    Too bad methamphetamine is a banned substance. They're awfully good as nasal decongestant. It will clear you right up.

    Sorry OP, but this. I understand some sicknesses and injuries you have to sit out, but it's a ****ing runny nose, stop being a baby. I played football with a completely torn ACL, I'm sure you can spar with a runny nose.

    I could and have sparred but the problem is that with the slightest of hits or touches it bleeds pretty badly

    In February I got my nose broken and still can't breathe through one side. I've not stopped sparring or fighting because I really want to box. You don't sound like the guy who wants to compete, if that's the case then don't.

    My best option and the one I'm going to take is using headgear that protects the face specifically the nose the cage headgear or the facesaver with the crossbar which would be a better option
