A member asked:

My ex choked me 2 weeks ago and when i yawn and swallow it is still uncomfortable and hurts. is that normal or could he have damaged something?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes there are cartilage and bone in your neck that could have been damaged after this trauma. You should see your doctor to perform a proper physical exam. Another question is do you need help with your relationship? Don`t be embarrassed to bring this issue up with your personal doctor, he or she is there to help.
