About a week ago ,I got into the dumbest accident. We were both in the right most lane to turn right on the red light. It was dark and she was about to turn but hesitated and stopped at the curviture point of the turn. I thought she went, and the road was pretty clear of the traffic since it was midnight. She was about 5 to 6 ft away from me. I hit my accelerator and hit her. I was ultimately shocked. She set there for the longest crying. The EMT and fire trucks came out. I hit her at about 12-15 mph . My bumper had paint damage and popped out a little bit. Her back bumper had paint damage and her back light was broken due to the impact. She claims that she has hit her head on the steering wheel, which in my mind could only happen if she wasn’t wearing a seat belt. The trooper gave me a ticket, which I do deserve. She chose not to go to the hospital, but mentioned that she would be going to a doctor to get checked out. She also claimed that she had injuries from a previous accident that did not heel completely, which is understandable. She claimed that when she hit the steering wheel , her neck bounced back really fast and that she had headaches. My biggest fear is that she will attempt to sue me for injuries, lost wages, medical bills, and loss of happiness. I do have the insurance, but the process is going to take forever since the traffic report does not come for 10 days. Any ideas on this matter?

i had spinal surgery 2 years ago and am still having alot of pain .the doctor has released me from his care–with no pain meds and i take advil constantly–apparently he has never been pain —–and no where to turn for help
i have already gone to pain management and that was a waste of time and money–i truly have tried everything—epidurals,pain blocks,surgery,cryo!the medical field is so messed up,with all the drug seeking people out there that when you are truly in pain and have a real problem the doctors WILL NOT HELP–for fear of being –looked into for prescribing pain meds!!the highest strength med i was ever on was lortab5/500.and i had this constant headache and pain in my neck for 3 years prior to surgery on my neck !!and i continued to hold a full time job during all this–if i had was not truly in pain —i sure would not have put myself thru all of this——i am willing to try anything that might help with the pain–i feel like my husband is so feed up with all this,that he is ready too pack up and leave [who could blame him]

I had a Lumbar Laminectomy back surgery and that didn’t work. That surgery was done in 04 on my L5 disk now they want to do a anterior and a posteriorfusion. But I’m afraid because I’m overweight and the first surgery didn’t help. I don’t want to keep going under the knife in fear that something may go wrong. And this is a work injury so you have to wonder if maybe the doctor’s are saying surgery just because.

I’m wondering this because there are many people being forcibly drugged and elelctro-shocked throughout the United States, and the world. These "treatments" can and do cause pain, fear, terror, irreversable brain damage, infertility, and even death among many, many other adverse effects. Do attorneys deal with these issues? Or is it something they avoid for a particular reason?
It reminds me of the joke of an "ambulance chaser"
all these attorney’s have to do is get aquainted with psychiatric survivors, and this would be big bucks both for the lawyers, and for the poor souls who have encountered this institution.
and I forgot to mention, there are plenty of "Reglan" commercials on television these days. It is a heart burn medication, that can cause Tardive Dyskinesia. What most people do not know is many people are FORCED to take anti-psychotic drugs that produce the same thing, Tardive Dyskinesia. I think they are entitled to sue just as much as any Reglan user, don’t you? They were forced to take it, which compounds mental distress, and then leaves the victim with other health issues to deal with and further traumatization.

What does true back labor feel like? I am not having uterine contractions but my back is hurting like it never has before like someone is trying to pull my spine apart vertically and it is just above my tailbone in the sacral vertebrae. I have chronic low back pain from a prior car accident but this pain that I am having now is much lower than my previous back injury. So far it is unrelieved by my prescribed pain medicine and prescription muscle relaxant. I am afraid to let my OB know for fear of him sending me to the Emergency Room for nothing if goes away soon! I am trying the heating pad right now to see if that relieves the pain before I consider calling him and going to the ER with this. Any suggestions on what it could be? or is it just the weight of the baby making my back my painful?
ok I will call my OB if it persists past another 1 hour since i just started with the heating pad and so far it seems to be starting to help, thanks for the advice!

I’m uneasy about needles. How can I ease my fear?

I am a young athlete, and when in the weight room about a month ago, i hurt my back doing a little extra weight on squats.I used to be able to touch my head to my knees, but now i can hardly bend over. The school trainer thought at first it was a muscle pull or strain, but it hasn’t gotten better. I haven’t went to the doctor for the fear of it being a serious injury and not being able to play football my senior year.Could it be something wrong with a disc? Any help would be appreciated!!

Pretend you have a male friend who was recently involved in an automobile accident. As a result of this accident, he has a spinal cord injury that has left him paralyzed from the waist down. During his recovery in the hospital, your friend confides in you about his fear that his sex life is over. What would you tell him about sexual functioning and spinal cord injury?

My wife was in a major wreck that left her with a broken hip, muscle, and nerve damage. She was pregnant at the time and soon gave birth following the accident, however, the doctors could only help her with pain and could not treat the injury for fear of hurting the baby ( her request). She still has a fracture that did not come together and heal. We fuaght the disabillity thing and won but four years later it was taken away from her because she was "Re-evalutated by a quack. Now, she can’t even get out of bed or walk. My wife is only 35 and I need to take her and have a real doctor correct this condition, if possible. I don’t want to think that my insurance would not cover this because it is a (pre-existing condtion), after all, the best doctors that the government has say that there is nothing wrong with her. does anyone have any input? I can’t see her it this pain anymore. It couldn’t be pre-existing if the condition does not exist, am I right or just ignorant to the fact.

Well here’s the deal, not that long ago I got DWI and got arrested. Now I’m dealing with the whole deal, from attorneys to courts etc. I’m not a huge drinker what so ever, and it just happens to be that the day I decide to make a mistake in my life was the day that I got caught. The problem is, this is my first and only arrest, and I don’t know anything and I’m scared. Day in and day out I continuously worry, I’m scared that I won’t be able to pull through, and now my finances are about to get tough. Not only that but I feel as if my life will never be the same. I heard about a lawyer, and not having any clue about of this I contacted the first one on my list. Even after all the charges, I have no idea if he’ll be able to do anything for me, or if I’m going to be throwing away my money out the window. Does anyone know exactly what goes on in these kinds of charges? I feel like I’ve lost everything I have, like if my college education isn’t going to take me anywhere anymore and like I just threw my whole life away. I can’t find the effort to do school work anymore, I don’t feel myself on the job, and I feel like a big part of me is gone. I just live in fear now. My question is, does anyone know what I should expect? Is my life really going to be at it’s lowest point forever now? I just need some clarification and in a way, some advice. i would appreciate honest answers, because this is something that I not only regret, but something that I feel will haunt me for the rest of my life.

some states have mandatory jail time for aggravated DWI, even if it is your first time.
New York, however, jail time isnt mandatory, due to the overpopulated jail system, and other determining factors.
Ive screwed up in the worst way. I was foolish, and drove home from a party, while drunk. I was trying to get home to my wife, because i didnt want to sleep in an unknown place. There is no excuse at all, for what i have done, and im glad nobody was hurt by my thoughtless action.
I was arrested in Ontario County, New York (ontario county has the highest conviction rate for DWI in the whole state).
I AM SCREWED. I cant afford a lawyer right now because the money i have is spoken for (rent)…but according to the appointed council application i filled out, im not poor enough for a public defender?
I feel like im trapped and losing time, against my will.
The DWI conviction rate in this county is 98%. My wife and i only make enough money to pay for our expenses, and if we hired a lawyer, and still ended up losing the case, we would surely be unable to pay rent, higher car insurance premiums, etc. MY fear is that what i have done will ultimately put us on the street.
MY wife has been greatly supportive throught this (i really dont deserve her).
I just dont know what to do… (first court appearance june 18th)

If I just go the court hearing what should I expect? I was at .09 which is on the cusp. My biggest fear is jail time.

The disk pain is in my low back just above my sacrum. I am attempting to avoid surgery due to the fear that i will be unable to function as a person after the surgery. I have see the results of some surgery.. They patients have never been the same.
Oh yes, I am in China for the moment. I do not have access to a Chiropractor
I am studying Tai Chi every morning. It gets me outta bed and moving each day.. I can say that.
