I was playing football tonight and i went up for a pass and a guys elbow caught me in the throat, i swear it felt like my throat was pushed in to the back. Well anyway it hurts really bad right now, I'm just curious if anything COULD be or IS wrong if I am having a hard time swallowing?

as long as your are able to breathe without any trouble and are able to swallow things w/out them becoming trapped inside your throat, then i wouldn't worry about it too much.
you could have bruised the tissue around your throat and this is causing the pain.
if you ARE having trouble breathing at all, or are unable to swallow food or liquids-then report to the nearest emergency room. your esophagus and trachea (windpipe) are made out of very flexible cartiledge but in the event of a traumatic injury, pieces of that cartiledge could crack or break loose-causing injury to that area.
make sure to make an appt with your dr within 24-48 hours just to have it checked out anyways. better to be safe then sorry.
you can take ibuprofen for the pain. take 200-400mg every 6 hours as needed but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.

I think your husband sounds like a strict parent, but that may be a good thing. If your son can learn to do as he is told, the punishments will be less severe because he will expect a punishment is he disobeys. And your son will stay in line. I love when kids...even young kids obey their parents. Your husband wouldn't have kept him in trouble for 30 minutes if your son had said sorry. At age 2, almost 3...he's old enough to understand. He was being stubborn. I agree with your husband here.

You need to have someone look at that for you. What's wrong is that some jerk elbowed you in the throat. Please go to a clinic or something.

You got an elbow in the throat. Nothing to worry about. How is your friends elbow? May need a doctor to check him over.

The throat area is sensitive (ever notice when you swallow medicine/whole pills sometimes it feels like the pill is stuck in your throat but it really isn't).....it'll go away in a while.....
