Is this whiplash and what can I do about it?

A week ago I was driving downhill about 60mph and skidded on ice, lost control of the car and eventually stopped in a snowbank with quite a bump, front drivers side impact, no airbags went off.

I've spoken to a doctor on the phone but as the airbags didn't go off she said its probably fine and that was that. But I'm getting awful headaches esp when driving (2.5hr rtn trip each day for work) and they are really wiping me out, and I feel just 'weird' like I'm coming down with the flu or something, with pins and needles all over, esp when I move my neck around. '
My neck is a bit sore but mostly OK, and I don't get headaches if I don't drive.

Does that sound like whiplash or more like I am in fact coming down with something?

Arnica 30 or 200 is good for whiplash. From Holland and Barrats.

No medical qualifications so standard advice: 111. Concussion? Do you feel comfortable driving that much with awful headaches?

Pins and needles doesn't sound like whiplash to me. I would get checked out.

Go and see your doctor. And as for the poster who recommended Arnica Hmm
