Question: What would you do in this situation?
wouldn't you go to the ER instead of a cheer leading composition where you could just injury it more?
what would you would do?
Answers:
Probably a muscle strain. If it were broken, it would be obvious by now. I have been a paramedic for 22 years, and have seen only a handful of broken necks from car accidents...and never ever ever from a minor one. However, lots and lots of strains (whiplash). There is nothing the ER will do other than the same thing your family doctor will do...MAYBE an x-ray, anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) and maybe a muscle relaxer. I do agree that it could be aggravated going to a cheering "composition". That isn't very smart, and she should see a doctor or it could hurt much worse and a lot longer.
I have heard of one case where a neck injury was misdiagnosed and the guy walked around with a broken neck for something like a year. And it was painful the entire time.
So she should go to the doctor. You never know...
Definitely ER. If her neck is hurting, it could be a spinal cord injury. It that is worsened you can be paralyzed for life.
I didn't know cheerleaders were all parts of one unit.
