Whiplash

[shouldbworking]

Well. This is a new one on me, never had it before but courtesy of WVW (white van woman) I now have what has been described by my doc as a neck sprain that should resolve itself within a month - relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. I'd hate to find out what major was like, just this 5 days so far of constant neck pain and headache has been unutterably ste. To celebrate this I have a weekend of doing reservist stuff, im sure an extra 2kg of helmet on my bonce should help...

In conclusion, I'm feeling sorry for myself and need to MTFU, and also to anyone whose suffered serious whiplash out there.. you poor bds.

I had what i believed was minor whiplash (did not claim) about 10 years ago. have had my shoulder completely sieze up, a year after accident, but although i still don't have full movement now i only feel slight discomfort. Good luck and make sure you at least mention your whiplash in case you need to claim.

OP where are you based? I'm a chiropractor and if I'm remotely local happy to help a PHer out for a good price. I actually treat 4 PHers now

Well, 6 weeks on and still in just as much pain as when it first came on. Situation undoubtedly aggravated by a very physical 2 weeks of work (soldiering) in the middle. Only had one physio treatment so far... worth another visit to the doctor or not?

Physio treatment helped me but it took a month for it to start getting better, mine was not minor! Head on combined well over 60 ! It took about 9 months for the other half to get right me about 12 months and before that I didn't think whiplash was a proper thing!!
Not our fault other party decided to loose it and end up on my side of the road, but we all lived so that was a plus, thanks to a off duty paramedic being the first car to find the mess, and all three blue light people being there in 12 minutes.
