I'm glad your doctor is supportive, but your doctor isn't a lawyer.
Here's the thing, your testimony about what happened IS evidence, and the injuries corroborate what you said happened. Believe it or not, it is possible to prosecute cases like this without the victim's testimony AT ALL. I've done it, and I train police and prosecutors how to accomplish it. Sorry for the digression, but I want people to know that they can and should continue to report these crimes (and strangulation is a serious crime in most states these days), and let the legal experts sort out any evidentiary problems.
Have you talked with a DV advocate? I really recommend it.
