Paging those who've injured themselves...

What does whiplash feel like?

I realise this might seem obvious, but lets say low key whiplash as opposed
to floppy neck whiplash?

 

About £750 ;-)

 

Restricted movement.
Localised pain in the spine (lower neck), relieved only with
your head in exactly the right spot so it is balanced,
or lying supine with a suitable number of cushions under the neck.

If you think it's bad now, wait until morning.

Go to casualty and get an x-ray and a neck brace.
If nothing else, it helps with the insurance claim.

Whiplash is for life, not just for Christmas.

 

Low key whiplash hurts, floppy neck whiplash fucking hurts.

HTH, D

 

I had floppy neck whiplash when I was in the middle of a cage pile up.
Yes, it did hurt, yes my head did keep falling backwards.

 

Anyway, you should be up the A+E complaining about pains everywhere if you
want a shiney new bike ))

**** decency. If you end up a cripple you are going to want somebody to
fund your trike.

It's your neck.

 

Possibly, but I have a shred of stupidity/decency.

Plus the A&E is quite a long walk/train ride and I can't be arsed.

 

One day in the not so distant future, someone with knowledge of such things
will say "you could have got 'x' amount of pounds for that... if you had
gone to A+E" then you'll feel rough.

And all because you can't be arse to get a cab (fare probably re-claimable)
to the local hospital and wince on demand.

Still you know best )

Doesn't your girlfriend have a car?

 

No - we have no car.

 

Exactly... well said that man.

Call for an ambulance then. Just think GSXR 1000.

 

Go on your bike.......... ooops sorry

No. Don't. It's not an emergency. Call a taxi.

 

<applause>

 

Just fucking go.

Right on the money, Old Vache.

Do it asap Dan. You can always drop it later if you wish, but if you
are fucked up in six months time, you'll regret not doing it now.
They will pay for (the damage to) your bike immediately (ish) and your
excess - and your kit. Injury claims are dealt with separately, so
get on your bik^H^H^Htrain and get looked at. NOW.

 

Why? He's not even sure it hurts. **** it, take a couple of ibuprofen
and a paracetemol and have a hot bath. See what it's like in the
morning.

The NHS has enough emergencies to deal with let alone a 'I think I ought
to get it checked out in case I might want to claim in the future'.

 

What sort of attitude is that, call yourself a septic?
