Whiplash pain?


I am 13 and I was in a riding accident on Tuesday and the whiplash is so bad in my neck it is so ahrd to sleep and I work every morning at the stables and I really need some help with the pain. Any help?

Be sure to let your parents know how bad it is bothering you. Also with whiplash it is very important to do gentle stretches to stop the muscles from tightening up any further. If your neck feels like it is burning use ice. If it is past the burning phase use alternate between hot and cold compresses. I know it is painful to do stretches whith whiplash but if you don't it can get much worse and take longer to heal.

Go to the doctor, get a prescription pain releaver. Go easy on your neck.

ohh. I feel your pain. I got whiplash really bad when I was in an accident too. I'm 13 too. Tell your mom or whoever how it feels, go to the doctor, and see what they say. when I went he was rubbing it and stuff, which made it feel better, and he gave me a perscription.

See a doctor-it could be something worse. Anyway, whiplash injuries will usually take about 2-3 weeks to settle down. You may also need to wear a neck collar if it really hurts that bad.
