Neck/Back Pain, Whiplash injury, head & chest pain?
TINKERBELL asked:
I had a car accident in December just 2 weeks after giving birth and suffered whiplash - I was told where my ligaments were softened still from the pregnancy the recovery could be longer. I have been having physio for this. I have been getting neck and back pain but also lately I get headaches (up into the back of the skull), chest pain and shoulder pain. Do you think this is all in relation to the injury? These latest symptoms have only come on recently but I have been told everything can be related? I am fed up of taking painkillers, are there any natural pain relief available that anyone else has tried that is good and how long does it normally take for things to get back to normal? Bearing in mind, I have a young baby that requires a lot of lifting etc that I can’t rest.

All of life is related and is in constant motion and interactions so a nexus can be placed with your injury to the collision…or something else too.
Regardless of that, I would continue with Physical Therapy and the pain meds as necessary. Maybe you can locate a good chiropractor and acupuncturist too.
I found that the people who are elders who are willing to learn and change their beliefs with practice and experience work the best….
If you can, try getting into a pool for PT…maybe bring baby with you and you both can have fun…
Have known of a man who they said would not walk but with his Friend and a year of PT in a pool…he was walking
