Has anyone had whiplash from a car accident?

I was rear ended in December 2024. By two vehicles.
At the time I didn't feel any pain but two days later, pretty acute neck pain ensued. It was daily, and into the shoulder area too. I went to a chiropractor to get treatment, and it did help. But fast forward eight months, and I still get pains every couple days.
I guess it says online if whiplash lasts longer than six months it's referred to as chronic whiplash.
Anyone experience this longer than six months?

No. My mother had it, I did not. I had surge of adrenaline that seemed to last hours.

@SW-User I'm sorry..how long did your mom's whiplash last? And you didn't experience neck pains?

@Coralmist I had no pains. Only the adrenaline. I had very fast heart rate.

She had it for a week or so. It seems you have a problem.

@SW-User Oh wow only a week!! Yes I read online whiplash can last months, and even up to a year or more. But I'm not reading any fast or true treatment, just standard massages, chiropractor, or physical therapy. I really hope this goes away

@SW-User My heart raced a bit after being hit too. Glad you're both ok.
