Aggravation and reinjury
On Monday I was being seen by a doctor for my lower back pain and as I was starting to sit up from the table, he gave me his hand to help me up. Since I had been talking to him about my bad neck issues, I thought that he would help me up slowly but he pulled pretty hard and quickly. I was a ragdoll for a second and my neck went back in a whiplash like motion.
I had a lot of upper back pain immediately and then a bit later there was a significant change in my headaches and a bunch of my other symptoms.
The increase in symptoms sucks, but the hardest part is dealing with the anxiety that this is more than just a temporary aggravation of things. After 3 nights of sleep, I've seen no change. Usually I feel a lot better in the mornings.
At what point does one consider that they've had another concussive type incident or that the event may have caused a longer term increase in symptoms and length of recovery?
Thanks
