Got Hit On Throat. Is There Any Effect On Adam's Apple?

around the age of 12 or 13 I was hit in the throat with a surf board in the ocean. Then I did not realize the significance this could possible have on my life. I am now 21 and the other day I felt a shift in my neck and noticed that my adams was visible which previously was never noticeable. Could my adams apple just be growing now?

Hi and thanks for this query.

There is just no need to get worry now. If there was any damage to your neck structures, you would have felt pains then that warranted investigation. I think it is a simple and expected growth in the Adam's apple. Be relaxed and don't get worried any more.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
