If you have been in a physically abusive situation

I have a question for those that have been in a physically abusive situation.
If you are in a situation where things are escalating with a person that has hit you before, do you feel pain in your body in the same areas youve been hit, if youre afraid to be hit again?
Example. A few Weeks ago I was hit. Today a similar situation with this same person came up and I was terrified of being hit. There was no way to go or get out of it. Thankfully I was not hit today and someone intervened but i have bad pain now from where i was hit 3 weeks ago.
I dont know why.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Edit. I am not in a relationship with this person
