It's hard to scan properly with an aching neck.
I wear a medium unisex helmet too. We must just have a lot of brains. :D Glad you like your new helmet. :)
If you continue feel nausea and dizziness, I'd see a doctor. I was very sore and banged up from my fall, but never felt sick like that. I don't know much about concussions, but those might be symptoms of that.
Smart not to ride yet. As Melalvai pointed out, it's hard to scan for cars w/a sore neck -- hard enough to drive, as you mention.
Take care of yourself!
Oh my, what crappy luck; glad you are OK.
I discovered Salonpas patches last month when I crashed on my MTB vacation and took a handlebar to the ribs. I rode through the vacation with two large patches on my front, one over the shoulder, and another big one on my back. (Yea, I smelled like the 'Ben-Gay woman on steroids' :o). The pain was all over my chest and back; thankfully I was wearing elbow pads which saved my skin from being ground into the sand and rocks, as I fell and slid on my side. Those patches were great and helped me salvage the rest of my vacation, you might want to grab a few at the drugstore and try it if you are still sore.
So happy my neck can move again! Still a bit sore but MUCH better now and headaches have gone away:)
This is VERY good to hear, thanks for the update!Quote:
