Boyfriend abuse : is my throat swollen or bruised ? Posted: 05-25-07 03:04am
I have had a arguement with my boyfriend
just today, and he is very abusive, and he
kept punching me and slaping me and
whatnot, but one thing i'm afraid of that
he did is that he punched my in my neck,
and now when I swallow I used to hear
something pop, but it doesn't anymore, but
now all it is is pain when I swallow, do
you think it's just swollen or bruised, or
is anything wrong?
You may consult a specialist in
otorhinolaryngology in order to exclude
any internal lesions inside the throat as
a result of the impact to your throat.
You might also consider talking with a
psychologist or mental health professional
about the more serious issues of domestic
violence and abuse that it seems you are a
part of. No one needs to be in a
physically, mentally, or emotionally
abusive relationship....and with the help
of a counselor you can learn about how and
why you choose partners like this. As
your mental and emotional wounds heal, you
will begin to attract love and light to
your life rather than darkness and abuse.
