Narrative:

Approximately 1 hour after takeoff, the #4 flight attendant complained of neck pain and a headache. She said that it was the result of our aborted takeoff. I asked if she wanted medical personnel to meet the aircraft on arrival. She did not. About 10 mins later the #2 flight attendant complained of the same symptoms, also did not want medical to meet the aircraft. Shortly thereafter, the #2 flight attendant changed her mind and wanted medical to meet the aircraft on arrival. After arrival, I spoke with both flight attendants. Neither wanted to be removed from flying. I asked how they felt. The #4 flight attendant said she felt ok, but that was because she had taken heavy drugs. She did not want to be taken off flying, nor wanted to go to a hospital. The #2 flight attendant had neck pain and a headache and wanted an x-ray of her neck. I phoned crew tracking and dispatch and briefed them. Supplemental information from acn 574315: during the takeoff roll, the captain elected to abort the takeoff. The autobrake engaged and brought the aircraft to an abrupt halt, causing everyone in the cabin to jerk forward then fall back into their seats. I did a cabin walkthrough while the captain ran a system check. Most passenger seemed alright at that time and many were just scared or 'shaken up.' 1 small boy had hit his head on the seat-back in front of him, but said he was fine. Midway through the flight, my co-worker and I started to develop a severe headache and shoulder/neck/middle back pain. We had another passenger start to complain of severe neck pain and headache. We brought him some ice packs and aspirin. We then notified the captain to please call ahead to have paramedics meet our flight for our passenger. Upon landing and deplaning, my co-worker and I decided to go to the emergency room as well because we felt so poorly and we were both concerned about the titanium plates in our necks, that they were not affected by the 'whiplash' effect we experienced in our jumpseats. We were examined by an emergency room physician, given some prescription medication for pain and also muscle relaxants, and were instructed to see a physician for a rechk in 2-3 days.
