Ever have whiplash from an accident?

I hope you feel better.

I know what neck pain is like. As you probably already know, two years ago I had flesh eating bacteria in the back of my neck requiring several surgeries to cut away dead flesh, then a skin graft cut from my leg and sewed to my neck(at the time my leg wound hurt more than my neck wound!). The neck infection spread to my vertebrae and I could no longer walk. I had to use a walker for two months. I am still messed up. My neck is sore and stiff, and legs still weak. I should walk more! But as long as I can drive and sit, I can still work. My brain still functions!

Yes back in 1993. Bad crash I slid on ice on a bend at about 50mph and hit another car coming in the other direction at same speed. Both cars written off. He went through a wall and fire brigade needed to cut him out.

I never has treatment except painkillers.


But years and years later I saw a physio for back problems with using a computer all day. She says randomly one day "You ever had bad whiplash?". I say no then say we'll 20 years ago.

She says "Yeah way you stand, sit etc shows it wasn't treated".

Your therapist is not on your side. 2-3 months is what your insurance company hopes but in reality 6 months is more realistic. Switch to a new therapist if possible. Swimming is helpful for whiplash.

Luckily, no. I like to think that if it was ever needed, the head-rest would prevent that.

Some years ago the Police and insurance companies noticed an odd rise in whiplash-injury reports. Most were found to be fraudulent, sometimes linked with deliberately encouraging a rear-end collision to excuse the false claim.

I had it but I didn’t go for physio. It went away after a while.

If you're able to, try hot yoga! Not a quick fix, but it does work
