General Health Care - July 2006

My 76 year old mother was on a bus last week which was full and had to stand among the crowded bus, as the bus was moving along the road a car shot out in front of it and the bus driver slammed on his brakes suddenly to avoid hitting the car, my mother hurt her back trying to stop herself from falling but did not realise this at that time till the next day, she was in agonising pain and had to go to the hospital for an xray, even though nothing is broken she sprained her back quite badly and is on pain killers, My question is can she claim compensation from the bus company for this? she did not report this to anyone other than her GP, she knows the number of the bus but not who was driving it.

I don't know if that's what's going on with me or not. Last night lying in bed, I woke up and turned my head and got the most intense pain, like someone had turned my neck around or something and it crept up the back of my head, tingling, kind of numb. It was awful! It was hard to go back to sleep because it hurt my head to lay it on the pillow. Today it is still sore, the back of my head and my neck is sore. Is this whiplash? Can you just randomly get whiplash for no apparent reason? I can remember this happening a couple of months ago at work, but not as painful or intense and it made my shoulder jerk up, like I was startled. What should I do? Do I really need to see a doctor or will it go away on it's own? Can anything serious occur if left untreated?

I see like clear dots in formations sometimes, usually wen I look in the sky. The only way I can describe it is if you have ever looked down a microscope and it has those little dots on the lens??? Is there something wrong with me or does everyone have that?
