Treating Pain Caused by Auto Accidents in San Carlos
When you are in an auto accident, pain from injuries often doesn’t appear until hours, days or even weeks afterwards. Many people walk away from auto accidents “without a scratch” only to suffer crippling pain, neck strain or headaches much later.
It’s actually quite common for pain and injuries after a car accident to remain undetected for a long period of time.
A Natural Reaction to Trauma
That’s because when you are in an accident, the body automatically secretes defensive hormones such as adrenaline that are natural pain-killers. In some case, people go into a state of shock after an accident, leaving them immune to pain or other symptoms of injuries.
It’s only hours or even days later – after the body’s natural defenses wear off – that they begin to realize that they were hurt in the accident.
Post-Traumatic Pain Symptoms
Some of the most common symptoms you can experience hours after a car accident include:
Excruciating pain in the back, neck or head.
Difficulty breathing or inhaling deeply
Pain while urinating
Numbness or tingling that doesn’t go away after a few minutes
If you experience these or other painful symptoms, it’s time to seek medical treatment immediately.
