If you had whiplash, you wouldn't have been able to go to the computer and type in the question.

Jetty, do you remember your head being jerked forward and backward? Most times, the accident occurs so quickly you don't remember what happened. If that is the case, then yes you may have whiplash. Often this occurs when you are in a rear end motor collision (when someone hits you from behind). Best to get your neck examined with x-rays if necessary. You may need therapy like ice (http://www.arc4life.com/site/615058/page... and electric Stimulation. Consider seeing an osteopath or chiropractor- they can definitely help you out.

I'm not a doctor, so I'm speaking from experience. Yes, it could be whiplash. You need to see a doctor to find out for sure.

Contrary to what many think, whiplash can be very, very painful, severe and you can have permanent disability from it. It can also be mild, and last a few weeks.

It could be something simple, or you could have torn ligaments, tendons, herniated a disc - get the picture? I don't mean to scare you, but if that's what it takes to get you to seek professional help, so be it.

The thing is, you don't know what you've done. Don't mess around with your neck. You could have a serious injury. Please get to a doctor or hospital emergency room quickly and find out-especially if it worsens in any way.

well if you do or don't have a whiplash I would consult a doctor because your kneck should not be hurting if you did not hit your kneck I think the best way to find this out if to talk to your doctor. Since it would hurt I would defiantly take Advil or what ever "ache" medicine you take & unless it hurts alot when you rub it I might go get a massage but get one AFTER you talk to you doctor cause we don't want to make it worse

HOLY CRAP. thats crazyy becuz acctually yesterday, i went Tubing and i hit a really hard wave. my friend was with me and she was fine but i started screaming becuz my back and chest caved in. omg it hurt so bad.. and i think thats what i have? idk. but it hurt like CRAAPP! and i woke up and my neck and back and chest hurt all day .. STILL DOES

probably, its shouldnt be bad, it'll heal up in atleast a week up two, i got whiplash from flipping over the front handle bars on my bike

I don't think you had a whiplash. You may have sprained your neck bone or bruised it. You may want to see a doctor.

could be that or a concussion- please get checked out ASAP.

Rest it.

its only whiplash if you get rear ended in a car crash and the lawyers can make money....thats the only time/.

go to the doctor
