| This is one of those things where we want an idea of recovery time,but we Docs are unable to give an accurate idea. There are so many variables,so many similar injuries and predispositions. Certainly the comments re insurance are good,they will either say if u can scuba then your neck is ok,or the scuba has made it worse etc.. Its not just the weight issue,its how we hold our heads in the water by flexing/extending the neck. What I would say,is that they can be a bugger to recover,worse if you are neurotic, and if irritated make every day life so much harder. Give yourself time to recover fully,which may be longer than you think. But you could be lucky,if not too bad a trauma,with good neck anatomy and no pre-exisitng disease it may not be too long. But Tendons and ligaments are a bugger to heal. |
