Help. I wanna get rid of this pain in the...

[Stinkweed]

...neck. I suffered whiplash, but I don't wanna go to the hospital and get them collar thingies... I think it was a minor thing, though... Well according to wikipedia it at least. I only feel some minor pains and stuff when I move my head too abruptly but I haven't lost a lot of range of mobility and I certainly am not suffering insomnia or feeling weird pins sticking my hands and feet. So I'd say I'm ok, just a little bothered by the occasional ache. I THINK that by tomorrow I will almost have forgotten about it. But is there any special thing I could be doing to ensure I will heal fast? You know any homemade treatments? Thank you.

i've heard that putting heat on it can be helpful. if you're not going to get it properly looked at, something like a hot wet towel rolled in a garbage bag might at least make it heal a little faster and/or feel a little better.

Hahaha! Exactly!! I don't think you'd believe me if I told you what happened, lol. It wasn't even in a car, or any other vehicle or skateboard or skates or anything that involves wheels. I'll try the warm towel, though. I just don't think it's a big enough deal to go see a physician, well from what I feel anyway, cause what actually happened was plain crazy and dangerous but it's not like I did it on purpose, btw.

I agree that if you are going the home remedy route ,that a heating pad or something would probably alleviate some of the stiffness, pain, etc. along with maybe some over the counter pain meds ( ibuprofen) .

Well, in a nutshell: I was in a show and a girl jumped from upstage and fell on my head while I was helping someone up from the floor, LOL. Thank God she was pretty skinny, tho.
