Can A Hit From The Door On Foot Cause Whiplash?
Question: Hi. Today after my flight- i went on a shuttle van to get to my hotel. When i was getting into the van and stepping up- i climbed onto the seat but as i was getting up- the driver closed the door and it hit the back my foot. My foot hurt but is better. I felt stiff after probably bc i got worried. Can this cause whip lash or concussiin? Will i be ok? Thanks
Brief Answer:
No possibility of whiplash or concussion injury
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
This trivial injury will not cause any whiplash injury or concussion injury.
I hope there is no history of loss of consciousness, back pain, lower limb weakness.
For foot pain or swelling pain killers can be taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Xray may be required if pain and swelling persists.
Do get back to me for further queries.
