    in november i was in a car crash ( back end smash)
    got whiplash injury's.....

    everything had subsided.......

    untill i got struck by a patient on tuesday night....
    (think i did more damage 'lunging' out of the way....
    than the actual blow to my back...)

    anyway... was fine all day wednesday untill i went
    to pick the kettle up about 10 30 pm...
    couldnt move, in agony..

    got in GP's thursday... he said whiplash injury
    had been agrivated by blow/lunge..
