Black Eye

I was in a abusive relationship for 3 years. Long story short my at the time boyfriend hit me hard on the side of my left eye on my Zygomatic Bone( the one right below your eye). It instantly swelled completely surrounding my eye and turned black. For 3 days I couldn't open my eye at all. The bruise was a lot different looking, but never completely went away till 3 to 4 weeks later,the swelling took almost the same time. As days went by I noticed where the main source of the impact was. Where your top and bottom eye lids meet,but down just alittle under the eye but right on the tip of the bone right by the eyeball on the left eye on the side of it by your temple.( Sorry if it sound funny,didn't realize it was so hard for me to explain the location). To this day almost 2months later below my eye is a very suddle black eye,almost brown in color,that one spot on the bone is very tender and if I barely touch it,it feels like needles are stuck in my skin along with a very bad sunburn. Its very hard to explain the pain. To this day I also still have a little swelling along the bone line. What could of happend when he hit me? I don't think its nerve damage cause I havnt noticed any numbness only in that one spot on the bone line.

First, I hope you have left this animal (your boyfriend). Who wants to get beat up all the time? Maybe you should get someone to kick his ***. Now: did you see a physician or go to the ER? You definitely have to be medically checked out, you may have damage you don't even realize. Please go ASAP. Good luck, my friend, dump the a-hole if you haven't already, and God bless you.

is it possible you got a hairline fracture? Have you had any x-rays? I don't know what they can do for it, but maybe you could find out an answer for the pain that way.
