A member asked:
I maybe swallowed glass shards, a piece of bread fell on the floor and i ate it, only to realize after that there had been glass on the ground. if i did swallow any shards they were less than 2mm. it may be psychosomatic, but my neck hurts on 1 side?

See your Doc: Even though you suspect the pain to be psychosomatic , it continues to worry you. From what you described, it sounds like you didn’t notice swallowing glass immediately. This only occurred to you when you thought about there being glass on the floor. The longer you worry without being checked, the worse you feel both physically and emotionally. Ask your doctor for help so you can relax.
