How long does it usually take to recover from whiplash? |
my friend and i were rear-ended in a car accident last night and now i have whiplash. how long does it usually take to recover? my emergency room doctor never told me...he just told me how to take care of myself while at home. typical of the ER doctor. It could take 6-8 to "heal" but realize that if you have whiplash, you're next step is early arthritis. This is reversible only early on. To reverse this and treat it as to minimize your chances of having/developing arthritis, you should see your chiropractor. Without proper care, damage can be difficult to reverse or irreversible. I had whiplash once. I don't think it lasted very long. I think I healed up in less than a week. I could take the brace off after a day or two though. about 48 hrs just about week i had it before ! just keep warm towels on it for about 2 or 3 days then cold for the rest! They don't do braces anymore. Turns out they were no help, and may have made it worse. I had whiplash a couple of years ago, and it lasted 3 months. I could not turn my head. My friend who had it suffered for one month, so I guess it depends. I did physical therapy, which helped some. Try a Google search. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes never but I sure hope you will be ok and suffer no long lasting bad effects about a week or so depending on how bad it was. Sometimes you can suffer permanent damage from it. Sorry to hear that .It usually takes about one wk. mostly.. It depends on whether you are suing someone who has deep pockets and how good your attorney is. It could last a while. a week You better sue.. Here is what is going happen... A chiropractor or 10 will call you. Go see them, you will get massages and everything for FREE... Then get a lawyer, he will not charge you anything, he just wants a cut of what the insurance comp gives you. It's so easy and u'll get money.. Me and my best bud did it. Watch you will be getting calls and letters from lawyers and chiropractors very very soon. You don't pay a cent... It's good for u too to get treatment on your back and neck. My friend and I got 800 bucks each for seriously nothing. |
