What Causes Bruise On Chest And Shoulder Along With Stiffness In Back?

I was the passenger in a car accident yesterday. We were going 10mph or less and ran into the back of a car that hit its brakes in front of us. The air bag didn t deploy but I have a light bruise on my chest/shoulder area from the seatbelt and some stiffness in my back and neck. Should I see a doctor about it?

I have read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think it was a serious trauma.

You should see a Doctor if you will have any symptoms such as breathing problems, severe pain, etc.

Hope this helps.
