Do I have Whiplash - Not a claims question!?!
Question: Do I have Whiplash - Not a claims question!.?
I race karts at a competitive level and whilst racing had an accident with another kart and was sent over the grass and into the wall at about 40mph - coming to a dead stop. Later on, I was involved in another crash where I slammed into the side of a pile up (had nowhere to go).
My neck is fine to move side to side, and up + down to a certain extent. However, if I push my neck a bit further back it hurts along the two muscles on either side of the back of my neck. also, it begins to hurt along the top of my back.
My neck also clicked / cracked a bit today.?.?.?
Should I go and have it looked at or will it sort itself given time - but it doesn't seem to be getting any better at the moment!Health Question & Answer

You definately need to have this looked at. The cervical spine is nothing to play with. Accidents at less than 15mph can cause 7G's of force on your neck. See a doctorHealth Question & Answer
