It's a common problem, but it doesn't have to be. CPAPtalk members have been compiling and exchanging solutions on this FAQ for ages now. Yet new user after new user visits and asks, "How can I cope or combat the pain on the bridge of my nose?" There's got to be a better way of building the knowledg...
