Concussion or more serious head injury? Please help!
Got sent to hospital 4 hours later, diagnosed with
whiplash
(which went away within a week) and administered painkillers and told to go home and rest the same evening. My prognosis was a full recovery i.e. that I'd be back to normal in a few days.

3 1/2 yrs of pain and drugs no answers and now I know the truth
I have actually found out the actual damage that was caused when I had a
whiplash
injury at work on a truck. I have come to America and paid to have a digital motion x-ray done and I have been walking round with 8 yes 8 damaged ligaments in my neck .

Not sure if my symptoms are physical or psychological, haven't really received a diagnosis from medical professionals. Please help!
After several medical checks I was diagnosed with
whiplash
and a possible mild concussion, but was reassured that it was nothing serious. I was discharged the following night and told to rest for a few days. The next day I woke up feeling very anxious.

Neck Pain after car crash
I have cervical spondylosis - just over a week ago I was injured in a car crash where I suffered
whiplash
. Since then the neck pain has increased greatly - my insurance company is sending me for physio - but could this crash, a rear end bump, have made my condition worse?

New symptoms after 3 weeks?
She didn't black out but had normal signs of concussion and
whiplash
. She didn't seek medical help at the time as she was worried she would be letting family down by not being able to go on holiday. Her symptoms didn't worsen, apart from bruising over her body, and gradually most went.

Why do I feel quite poorly after nearly 4 months
Tripped getting on bus,crashed top of scull on metal around drivers seat, all went black for moments,went to docs 2 weeks later who considered I had
whiplash
, but after nearly 3 months returned to docs who said it is post concussion trauma because I feel quite poorly, awaiting brain scan

Concussion syndrome
I realised that I should take a few days off after the knock to the head and to let the neck and back muscles mend themselves from the
whiplash
. All pretty standard so far. It was when I tried to return to work that I realised things just weren't right.

Anxiety over health
I've been to the doctor to get checked out and everything is fine except for a back injury I have from
whiplash
. I just wanna be able to enjoy life without thinking something bad is gonna happen to me all the time :(

Another interesting read!
Hi all, I was wondering how many people here have like me been diagnosed with tmj/ tmd  , my whole problem started 16 years ago from a bad dental extraction which caused a
whiplash
type injury , however I was also diagnosed with a tmj problem , on the left side and then gradually it felt like my muscles

All seems a bit fishy to me
I'm currently mostly having to deal with the residual fatigue, general weakness and occasional dizziness, some of which is probably also related to my bump on the head and suspected
whiplash
. I was prescribed naproxen two weeks ago for my neck and back pain, and am now down to just taking 1 a day.

Hello world...
During that first week I developed neck pain that was later diagnosed as
whiplash
. It was since then that I started to get more problems. It started with random nosebleeds, that I guessed were as a result of starting to take ibuprofen for the
whiplash
, on the advice of my GP.

I finally have been able to document my full story it's far from the final edit and as I C&P from another forum I have fixed some errors
I go in and they’ve not got space for me to have the scan at this point since I missed the actual time slot so a Dr sees me and says
whiplash
it was recorded at that point in my file they’d identified
whiplash
and back pain. They arranged for me to go back 10 days later for another scan.

Feeling hopeful !!!
I also have low back pain which I've had for 45 yrs now following a lumbar
whiplash
and the meds don't even take the edge off. I saw a private physio who said I should go back to the GP for referral for MRI and consultation with a spinal surgeon as he thinks I have spinal stenosis.

W6R3 Two questions and an observation!
I have had no issues until the long runs and it isn't legs and lower back its my upper back as I have previously had two
whiplash
injuries. I wasn't in severe pain probably just discomfort. My question is is it ok to continue running?

Early morning hypertension/headaches
I was in an auto accident January 2, 2016 and sustained a
whiplash
. I'm having physical therapy to help with
whiplash
, especially painful in upper back, neck, shoulders. Migraines and headaches have increased since auto accident. Had MRI done since accident, which was normal.

Finally trying to reduce Prednisone dosage
I was in a car accident January 2, and have a
