Hi I was in a rear-end Collision on Mar8/11. I was sitting in the passenger side, then we got stuck by another car. The person car was totaled, and it was a 70km speed. We were at an intersection, and stopped there. Then the car hit us so hard. I have whiplash, and have a lot of pain in my neck. Also I have Migraines a lot. I never had migraines before, and now I get them at least now 2 or 3 in a one week at a time. At first it was like once a month, and now I can't deal with all the pain. My Doctor wants me to see a Neurologist as soon as possible. Can you explain this to me, and why. This is the only accident I was ever in. Please reply back to me. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I am a 33 yrs. old working lady. Last week I had a head bang as a hard object fell on me. After 1 week my neck became stiff and feels heavy. Also i have started getting backache in the lower back. I hit my forehead only. There was a small cut on my forehead, but its now subsided and healed. I am a very healthy and active lady with no disease or problem.my right arm has also stared paining. I showed the doctor. X-ray of skull was taken. It's absolutely fine. No problem was found. I also have a sort of pressure inside my head. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I have a very bad neck with advanced disintegrating discs, arthritis, stenosis and spondylitis. My problems were enough until I hit a car that was going through a red light in a snow storm. I T-boned him and to say the least my whiplash has caused extra problems. I am now dizzy and have ear ringing every day along with the extra pain in my neck and shoulders. I will start message and physio next week. I am a 61 yr old singer. I hope none of the new problems will affect my voice. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I work at a mental health facility. A patient became angry and attacked me, hitting me on the top of my head. I have had shoulder stiffness; headaches; and pain in my neck, left arm, and shoulder. X-rays showed that I have degenerative disc disease. But I never had a problem until I was hit in the head and back. I feel my injuries aren't being treated properly. I've since started seeking the help from another doctor for a second opinion. My neck is stiff. I also have upper and lower back pain. I seem to run out of energy easily.
