Sorry, I don't want to sound like a whiney baby but, here goes...
I need some advice...
I was rear ended about 3 years ago by a drunk driver who just didn't think about applying the brakes?
Anyways to make a long story longer, I had 3 compression fractured vertebra, T11, 12 and L1. Two they said looked "old"? (cant remember ever breaking my back in the past though?)
I think there was something wrong with my left hip too because I couldn't hardly cross that leg and still have pain in it if I do too much walking but they said the "1" xray that was done did not show anything there.
Okay so the ortho doc said I'd be just like normal in about 6 months...
He did repeat xrays that showed normal healing.
Okay so here's where I need advice or? I just realized that it's been now 3 years since the accident and my back still hurts! It's like a chronic pain... I try stretching forward, backwards, twisting, bending, tylenol and motrin!
I was going to make a repeat visit to the doc but... my insurance really sucks!
Maybe a chiropractor would help? Maybe if I just have one of the big guys at work grab me from behind, lift and jerk that would help?
What do you guys think? Am I doing something wrong or should I be doing something else? Anyone else have this happen?
Any replies would be appreciated!
