Hi there,
I just wanted to ask re people's experience. The reason I ask is that my daughter seems to be both hypo sensitive and hypersensitive. Last Saturday she had a two metre fall onto her back and jarred her neck. The ambulance crew asked her to rate her neck pain this was 4/10 but the back pain was a 7/10. After immobilisation, X-ray and Ct scan the A&E crew said it was all precautionary as she was fine but turns out she has two stable neck fractures and will need to be in brace fulltime for next 10-12 weeks.
I suppose even as a physio I thought her injury was more bacK and her neck was ok. A similar thing happened when she was 4 and had a fall and broke her radius and ulna. My physio friend thought she was ok, the doc thought she was ok but I asked for an x-Ray as she had cried and this was very unusual for her. She is very stoical around accidents and falls but if she has an insect bite, sunburn, etc she is screaming with pain.
I don't know if her body goes into a shock but she is very calm as am I and I think people look at us strangely as everyone else seems to be in shock and upset. But afterwards when reality sets in I get a migraine, feel sick and seem to go into a little shock then. Do other people have similar experience of pain and shock?
thanks x
