Don't wait to get examined.
The 5 Most Dangerous Words are: “Maybe it will go away!”
Injuries from automobile accidents can be so slight at first that you don’t even know you were injured, or extremely severe with multiple broken bones.
Even if you feel normal after an accident, with no symptoms, you should be thoroughly examined. Symptoms can be delayed for days, and in some cases may not surface for years. Worse, whiplash injuries, if left untreated, can still be causing symptoms years after an accident, and in the long run can cause secondary problems like arthritis. This delay in symptoms and the long-term consequences make it very important to get examined after an accident.
Some common symptoms associated with whiplash and auto accidents are:
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Shoulder or arm pain
- Low back pain
- Blurred vision
- Ringing in the ears
|
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Irritability
- Difficulty swallowing
