If there's any doubt of how your feeling always go with a paramedic, or if that's not an option go to the hospital. Looks better for insurance. If you need to sue for medical bills etc.

My wife had what looked like a minor accident two years ago, at first she wasn't feeling any pain "the adrenalin had kicked in" however an hour or so after the accident she was in pretty bad pain. Her neck and back hurt and her hands were tingling then felt numb. The result of the low impact rear end crash her body absorbed the shock wave. She didn't go to the doctor until the next day.

Her second accident she was rear ended again about a year later. This time she was hit from the back and pushed into the car in front of her. It did over 10k in damage to her car and it banged her up pretty bad. This time she went to the hospital on the advice of her Attorney.

She ended up having to have three surgeries as the result of the second accident.

So bottom line always get checked out. You can't afford not to.
