Can A Black Eye Swelling, Pain Due To Facial Injury Be Treated?
Hi I was assaulted last Friday the 1st and punched on the left side of my face I have. A black eye which is slowly fading away but it's still slightly swollen on the bone and the pain when I touch it is unbearable I had an X-ray when I done it a week ago and obv nothing was found is it possible they may have missed something

I understand your concern for your health issues. It is very unlikely that to be missed. Black eye will remain even for few more days and pain and swelling will take time to go away as it is blunt trauma. But i would still suggest you to consult your ophthalmologist after few days if your is not getting resolved. Wish you speedy recovery.
