If you’ve seen any of my recent articles about whiplash, you may already know what I’m about to say.
I’ve been advising people about whiplash claims for a long time now, and signing them up to our unique Genuine No Win No Fee agreement that guarantees in black and white there are no costs for losing, and 100% compensation for winning –we cannot charge you for a successful claim!
But now, thanks to my local bus service, I can truly sympathise with all you whiplash victims out there – almost three weeks on from my bus incident, my whiplash is continuing on. The pain now is mainly in my back – it seems to ache and hurt in different places depending on whether I’m walking around, sat at my desk, or driving my car. I saw my doctor yesterday, whom checked me out, confirmed the injury, and gave me some exercises to do, and advised me to take anti-inflammatory / rheumatic pain killers on a regular basis.
When will my whiplash end? I’ve asked myself this question a lot, and I bet you have as well if you’re reading this as a sufferer of this, often complicated and unpredictable, injury. I’d like to think sooner rather than later, as it’s a pain (no pun intended there!) to cope with; but if it doesn’t resolve in the next couple of weeks, I’ll be making use of The Injury lawyers free client medical care service and get some physiotherapy to help me on my road to recovery.
Really, the only thing that can help a whiplash injury is exercise and treatment. There is no magic cure – It affects different people in different ways. My partner was sat right next to me in the bus incident, and she is suffering far worse than I am; yet it was the same incident. The injury will often get worse before it gets better, and it may come and go. Over last weekend, I thought I might be recovering as it didn’t give me a lot of pain. As soon as Monday came back round, it returned with vengeance! And it’s not stopped since.
The common symptoms of whiplash include:
- Pain around the neck, shoulders, and back area – often described as sore, or more of an ache (like mine). It may get worse when you’re driving – i.e. may become very sore when driving.
- Stiffness in the affected areas – perhaps making you feel like you’ve just done a solid 2 hour session at the gym. Mobility in the affected areas is often reduced.
- Headaches, dizziness, sickness, and even vertigo in some rare cases.
- Pins and needles in the arms and hands.
- Pain radiating down to any other area of the body.
