MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Came off my bike quite hard at the weekend and had a bit of what I thought was mild whiplash. However by Wednesday this was manifesting its self as a shooting pain where the Upper Trapezius meets my head. The pain is so severe as to induce nausea and mean I have to lay in a dark room and take valium and diclofenac once or twice a day. I never thought muscular pain could be so severe 😳
So the Dr is vague as to how long this could last, although will refer me to physio in a couple of weeks if need be, any experience 😐
When i got whiplash it felt like someone was stabbing me in the back with a screwdriver when i moved in certain ways. It still niggles from time to time, took about a year for it to stop aching. Positive point is that after the initial weeks of pain, it was keeping still that aggravated it, biking and anything active wasn't a problem
stabbing me in the back with a screwdriver
I know that feeling, a few weeks of that wouldn't be too bad, I was worried it could go on months & months
had a twik rear end me 2yrs ago in my van things seemed to get worse over the coming days then settled down. the only bad thing now since this all happend is when i get a headach i get them real bad as you have dark room ear plugs in and get ready to chuck but apart from that life and soul of any party
rear ended a few years back - thought the pain would last forever, but pretty much gone after about a week - stiffness lasted anouther week or two.
Yep, got shunted about 10 years go. I was 'too busy' to get physio at the time and my neck still crunches now. But there's no pain any more, nor is there any reduction in movement.
Make sure you get it checked out!!!
I was T-Boned on my bike a few years ago, taken to hospital where the examining Dr told me that whiplash generally gets worse for the first 72 hours and then begins to improve, I'd agree with other comments though, get it sorted, I still don't have full range of movement in my neck..
What's it like..... mmm - I could ask the guy who [i]reversed into me[/i] in a traffic queue to let someone turn right in front of him and is now claiming I hit him from behind 👿
The junction is covered by CCTV, sadly cameras were pointing the other way at the time so, according to my insurers - I LOSE.
BASTID.
and ..... breathe..........
best of luck with your neck easing up fella....
You sure you've not just been w4nking in a draught?
Had it?
At the prices my local 'speciality boutique' charges?
Naaah. I'll stick with the light spanking, thank you.
You sure you've not just been w4nking in a draught?
I've been doing that for years with no side effects. Although the neighbours perfer it if I don't do it in the garden.
Your garden or theirs? 😯
I had it once in a car accident. i was sore etc for a few days. forgot about it then about one year later got a cheque for 2k for my pain.
sweet.
Usually lasts anywhere between a few days and a few months.
Best thing for it is to gently get it moving again. Gentle stretching exercises will free things up and the sooner you can get full range of movement back in it the better. ANALgesia, massage and heat pack type things will all help with this.
