About 3 weeks I was rear ended on Ms river bridge by a asshat going 35 plus mph, I was at a dead stop. Anyway fractured jaw was diagnosed by xray, and this morning the middle of my back was not feeling right. So I got a appointment and whiplash was diagnosed. So I have a appointment with a chiropractor tomorrow afternoon. Should I be overly concerned with the whiplash diagnosis?

Do you have a catch in your neck and do you feel a little dizzy?

A little catch in the neck, more in the upper back. No dizziness.

There was an old ambulance chaser commercial with some old lady saying that after a wreck.

I assume you didn’t sue the shite out of the other guy.

I haven’t even considered any type of suite, I guess I’ll learn more after my appointment Thursday. This has been a eye opening experience.
I could beat the shite out of the other driver

It’s one of those things that could be fine with a little treatment or it could continue to nag you forever. I was in a similar situation 4 years ago and still have residual effects. I have numbness to my shoulder blade and issues with my neck that come and go. I still am
Able to do most of what I want to do but not as comfortably.

This is exactly how I felt. Dumbass hit me going 40-50 mph while I was at a dead stop. I had 2 kids in the back seat. Fortunately they were unharmed.

Most of the time these issues resolve fine with a little treatment and time.

Geez. Sounds extremely familiar. What’s crazy Is I don’t even hitting the steering wheel with my chin. That was the only way I can determine how my jaw is fractured.

Not remembering everything is something I experienced as well. The physician I saw explained it was due to the concussion I sustained which can fog memory.
