| whiplash woes
As per the above, sympathy with the injury, it can be more serious than non-sufferers appreciate, I got nailed at Xmas and it still causes me trouble.
With regard to diving exercise due caution: if you can cope with your gear out of the water it should be OK in the water where the loading is removed to a great extent. As to possible DCI/drug issues you could largely avoid those by staying shallow. In any case the pain management involved with whiplash is likely to be over the counter stuff rather than IV opiate drips.....
If you take things steady there should be no reason to give up diving if you continually monitor yourself (and let's face it, diving involves a semi-permanent state of self-monitoring!!)
Good luck with the compensation process (takes a while, unfortunately) and hope you make a full recovery. |
