Car Accident Neck Injury?


So... yesterday I got into a very minor car accident. the Car behind us crashed into our bumper and now my neck hurts. It FEELS swollen on the inside. I thought it would go away by now. Sound I be worried?

It sort of blocks my breathing and it hurts when I move.

Most definitely be worried. See a doctor asap. I was involved in one last Aug and as a result of whiplash I have a bulged disc in my neck. It started as a simple ache then felt like there was alot of pressure building in my neck. I went to my Chiropractor and got x-rays and found that I had a bulged disc which resulted from the accident. Don't wait call your physician. You may have something out of place pinching a nerve that may affect your breathing.

there could be a neck injury from the accident. you should really get it checked out. especially if it's effecting your breathing. good luck.
