I got hit in the neck, worried about internal bleeding or any other complications.?
I was playing touch football today, and a jackass thought it would be fun to put a shoulder into me while rushing, this shoulder happened to hit me right in the neck, HARD. I was able to play through it, but it still is bothering me.
It happened at around 11:30am and it is 4:00pm now, and it is still very sore. Swallowing is painful, but not unbearable and turning my head left and right is slightly painful.
But the real thing I am worried about is potential bleeding, as most of my reading about the situation stated that it is possible for you to bleed internally and it could leak into the chest cavity and affect breathing.
About 45 minutes or so after I was done playing, the right side of my chest felt a bit sore. It could very well be just a pulled muscle from the game, but when I breathe in deeply it hurts more intensely.
It does not affect my breathing, nor have I been short of breath or had any headaches, but I want to put my mind at ease.

Bjorn I'm not a doctor,but I would check it out with your doctor. Neck injures are no to be ignored. As far as internal bleeding goes,I would not worry to much. An injury to the neck could affect many things. Do not mess with this injury.

You got a minor trauma with no/not significant internal bleeding. If it doesn't feel better in 3 days or even worsen, visiting your doctor is recommended.
