1230181 tn?1269951024 because I was having a host of symptoms, pulse in my ear, migraines, foggy brain, memory and word problems, and one of which was neck pain. Well the neck pain was actually not all that bad, maybe brought on by poor posture. Well she ordered an MRI, and it show a 5 mm herniation chiari 1 malformation. My neck pain has increased to the point where it feels like I have whiplash, though I haven't done anything to cause it.

Avatar f tn ll be too much help but some of your syptoms sound like my partners symptoms and they were caused by whiplash. Glad your MRI etc came back fine. Whiplash symptoms can take up to a year to clear.

Avatar n tn I have sharp pain under my right shoulder blade and my neck when i bend. Its been 3 months now and is still there. i had a car crash whiplash injury months ago. Also i had a bad cough that lasted a while and i had pain under my ribs from coughing so much. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn No spinal tests done and did not hit head during accidnet--just whiplash over the steering wheel of car. Still having neck pain, headaches --not as severe--and eye pain (although no LOSS of vision like before). Been off all muscle relaxants and prednisone for 3 weeks now. I will schedule complete opth exam to rule out any underlying eye problems and do you mean physical therapy might be warranted given whiplash diagnosis and still recurring problems?
Avatar f tn I had a very minor whiplash injury 10 days ago but was able to carry on normal activities and run for over an hour a couple of days after. 4 days after the event my neck pain worsened and I suffered from extreme nausea.I had a severe headache and was admitted overnight for a CT of my brain which was fine. The following day I had another sudden severe headache and was taken into hospital again. The MRI and MRA were normal, and I was discharged with a diagnosis of whiplash injury.
Avatar n tn I also have neck pain and pain in both hands, wrists and forearms. CT and xrays night of accident were negative. This is causing moderate impairment in my daily living and I seem to get severly angry since these sx's have progressed. What is going on?
Avatar f tn t know if maybe my neck lump could be what is causing the whiplash? Should I be persistant with my doctor? I feel bad because I do not want ot question him but he does often forget things about me. Including delivering my daughter via c section. If you have any information on whether this could be related please let me know. My head hurts too much to over think this.
Avatar m tn easiest way to find out is to run a simple blood test . see a doctor tomorrow...walk in clinics will also do fine. u can go in tonight if you want to.
Avatar f tn I had whiplash in 2006 and in 2007 I had an MRI with the following: 1) Reversal of cervical lordosis and 2) Disc bulging with oesteophytic spurring at C3-4 with bilateral foraminal narrowing. At C3-4, there is loss of disc height. There is 3 mm disc bulging with osteophytic spurring with compression of the ventral dural sac and slight cord flattening. The midline canal diameter is adequate. There is moderate foraminal narrowing bilaterally due to oesteophytic spurring.
Avatar m tn I'm with Rox on this. But I'm also not sure what you are describing is what whiplash feels like. Whiplash is just stiffness and pain. You're describing what might be concussion symptoms. Docs are not good at dealing with this kind of thing, frankly. I was a passenger in a car that was rear-ended many years ago by a drunk driver. We were stopped at a red light, and the drunk used us as his brake, essentially, and the seat I was in broke so I did a pretty big back and forth.
Avatar f tn I was in a car wreck it caused whiplash and a head contusion in 2008 and I just had surgery for Herniated Disc I had pain and numbness in my right hand and fingers, in my arm numbness in my elbow pain in between my shoulder blades and across my shoulder, neck stiffness pain in my neck loss of motion in neck and major and many headaches I also had dizzy spells and major sinus problems form it. I tried PT and chiropractors they were a temporary fix and that was it.
Avatar n tn I had a whiplash injury in June and found a great doctor to help with pain. He is a pain management physician. He told me at my last visit that my pain is from my accident and that I should get an attorney. He said his diagnosis is cervical facet arthropathy from trauma. Today I get his report and it says his assessments are 1. Cervical Spondylosis 2. Cervical facet arthropathy Now those seem to contradict each other. Spondylosis seems to mean age related degeneration like arthritis.
Avatar f tn The pain management specialist gave me a steroid epidural which has not helped one bit except now I have upperback pain as well. I have had xrays and a MRI which both say that I am fine. However, I continue to have neck pain and dibilitating headaches that make in hard for me to even function. All I keep getting told is that I have a whiplash injury and my muscles are tight. However after 6 months of dealing with this something has to give. I can not live with this bad of pain.

Avatar f tn The next day I woke up and could not move my neck and it felt very similar to the whiplash feeling I had years ago but this time it is worse. My neck feels so sore and I keep feeling like I want to stretch it out but no position helps. There is a tightness in my entire neck and it's going down to my right shoulder. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me physical therapy again.
Avatar m tn I have never had any problems until a year ago I was rearended by a truck and since day one had severe pain in my right side of neck and back of neck. Also my shoulders and right arm pain. When I had a mri done a month later it showed a goiter. I was put on medicine synthroid and never any further tests. Recently I changed doctors and she wanted to see why my neck is so swollen in the front and found lots of nodules along with my goiter.
Avatar n tn I had a whiplash in 2007, then just when my whiplash symptoms were getting better, had a blow to the top of the head in later 2007, which exacerbated my symptoms. I often get a tight feel at the base of the skull, with pressure headaches, worse as the day goes on. I've been to two PT's who when I mentioned my symptoms, said it's possible that could be a diagnosis. Probably not, but possible.
Avatar m tn I had a sprained neck and part of my cervical lordosis was straightened out (its supposed to be curved). My pain only got worse since then and I now experience tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, legs and arms, severe neck and headaches (lower back part of head only), I'm constantly dizzy. Often time my hands and feet feel hurt so bad that I cannot even pick up a fork to eat. My back pain and neck and head are so very painful.
Avatar f tn injection to the thyroid; biopsy of the thyroid; and neck injury, i.e., whiplash, or from an automobile seat belt after a crash." Excerpt from the book: The Women's Guide to Thyroid Health: Comprehensive Solutions for All Your Thyroid Symptoms: "Did you start to notice symptoms of hypothyroidism after a car accident that resulted in whiplash?
Avatar m tn I read recently that they have been doing studies of whiplash and it totally describes what I have gone thru all these 29 years of constant debilitating pain. I should mention that I also have gone to 2 different pain doctors. My 1st pain doctor shook my hand and said :"thank you beat me." I thought I was going to cry on the way home. In this study they mentioned that whiplash should be treated immediately. I wish I could remember what they called it.
Avatar f tn Many conditions like vascular compression, compression of the spinal cord, cervical spondylosis, whiplash injury, etc may be causing the above symptoms. Try taking pain relievers (ibuprofen/diclofenac) and consult your doctor for the further management.
Avatar f tn hi, have had extreme whiplash and know your pain. medics in uk are lost! i also have many other symptoms. Have had to do my own research on web. best relief is cannabis! bed rest or just sitting head back works for me no walking (impact through spine) sleep in comfy armchair with head back in soft support I had very high blood pressure which seemed to coincide. Damage to vertebral arteries is supected with intermittent blocking depending on angle of neck.
