Just as I was sitting down today, I miscalculated the distance to the chair. I went down with a thump and something in my neck went 'click'.
I have been in a lot of pain all day, any suggestions? I been doing the Ibuprofen and deep heat thing, but it still hurts like hell! Is moving about gonna do more harm than good? Cem |
I actually got whiplash when I was go-karting at Buckmore Park. I went backwards into a tyre doing about 40mph!
I didn't do anything about it, except for the deep heat and pain killers. About month later I found I could crack my neck!! About 2 years after the accident I went to a chiropractor, and I've been going regularly for over a year now!! That said, I also had a bad back from rugby, and dodgy knees from Karate. Other than that, I'm fine!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif On a serious note, get it checked out <B>NOW</B> If it starts to play up in the future, I would suggest you see a chiropractor. When choosing one, go by word of mouth recommendation, and not the cheapest!!! Andy |
Go to A&E and try not to turn your neck before it is checked. |
Could be muscular but I would suggest a defo vistit to a specialist as a matter of urgency!
Hopefully its just been jarred. Hope your better soon Cem. Ron |
I didn't mean to scare you - but definitely go immediately and have it checked out. Better safe than sorry. I have heard of people who have broken their necks and not realised - hence not bothered to go to the hospital thinking it was just a sore neck. It's probably not something like this but when your safety is concerned it is better to err on the side of caution. |
I am not a doctor, but I think a visit to the nearest A & E department might be a good idea. I hope it does not turn out to be serious.

Thanks for the advice guys. I havent had it checked yet (I know, I know) but I am planning on visiting the physio on Friday, see what he says.
Still mighty painful. Cem |
See a doctor before you see a physio. You may need an x-ray to definitely say what the problem is. Physios are good once you know what the problem is, but you need a doctor to make the diagnosis. I have heard of physios who have started working on necks when they shouldn't have and ended up paralysing the patient. Go see a doctor!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif |
A good chiropractor will take x-rays of the problem areas, and associated injuroes before doing any treatment!!
At least mine did!! Andy |
A good chiropractor will, but a physio may not. |
Dowblog,
Did you get it checked? Do we need to start looking for a new muppet moderator yet? |
I was told that deep heat is bad, but hot baths are good for muscle injury.
|
Xray it first.
Physio can do more damage than good if they dont know what they are doing. Especialy if you have broken your neck !! |
AAAAAAAAarrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
