Advice on a settlement regarding auto accident

[Sinatra]

PO, From someone who has suffered from chronic back pain for years, I wouldn't see a chiropracter yet. You should see your reg. Dr. or an orthopedic. You also should probably get an x-ray or possibly an MRI. The Dr. or Ortho. may then recommend a Chiro. If it were my back, I wouldn't go to the Chiro. first because there are some neck and spine problems that a Chiro. could make worse.

Praying all will be fine

Thanks, Sinatra! They did do a CAT Scan of my neck and lower back while I was in the hospital. No fun being strapped down and neck restrained for TWO HOURS!!!

I'll keep that in mind about an Orthopedic as opposed to a Chiropractor. Thanks!

Advice from my lawyer neice when I had a medical problem- Keep notes on how you feel, physically and emotionally, document, document, document. I would see a lawyer and a doctor, in that order now.

Hey PO, I just read about all this. Sorry about the accident. Yes, I think everything should be documented by a dr especially if you are going to make insurance claims. Don't sign off on ANYTHING even if you get to feeling better. This type of accident can cause long-term pain that might not show up for a while. Hope you get to feeling better very soon.

Thanks, ILG!

I am feeling much better today. Yesterday, I hurt worse than any day. My neck was giving me more pain than my lower back.

But, I agree - don't sign off on anything even if I feel better. I haven't talk to anyone that disagrees with that.

The insurance company is on the line!!! Yeah!!!
