I was in a minor auto accident. It was the other drivers fault. I was injured. I went to the ER the day of the accident and they said it was cervical strain from where the seatbelt lock so tight onto my neck and shoulder. 5 days later it was really bad,went back to the ER, was told that I was having a muscle spasm that would not let go. Now it is 2 weeks since the accident and my neckand shoulder are still sore. The at fault drivers insurance company called and wants to settle the claim.They want to pay my hospital bills and give me 0 for pain and suffering. I didn’t know they did that. I thought you had to get a lawyer if you wanted money for pain and suffering. I have never even considered getting a lawyer because it was just a minor accident. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should I take the 0 or do people normally get more then that. I have never been in an accident before. If it matters the Hospital bills are almost 00 and meds were

My mom just had spinal surgery on her neck, including disk c7. Since she has woke up her neck is extended back, like she cant relax it. It is bowed backwards and her chin is pointed more towards the ceiling. Its very painful. They did an x ray and cat scan and can’t see any problems. The surgeon said this is not common and he is going to try to find out what was wrong this morning, but he didn’t come back yet. I can’t find anything online about post operative hyper extension. She has been like this for four days. Please help!
Not sure about muscle spasm, they have given her muscle relaxers and they didn’t help

Short history: I have been a healthy 35 year old up until one year ago. I have had migraines for over 1 year, and I have a lump in the throat (or so if feels like it when I swallow, all tests done came out negative). Now in the most recent time starting back 9 weeks ago I went to my doctor for scapula pain. The doctor said it was a muscle spasm. Gave me muscle relaxer and sent me on my way. 5 days later I went back in and saw a different doctor (same clinic) and she advised me to start physical therapy and take Percocet for the pain. 20 days later (after doing 3xw PT) I went back and saw yet a different doctor (same clinic) and I had to beg them to get me a MRI (not once, did any of them do an x-ray) MRI of the T-spine came back negative. They wanted to send me to a pain clinic for pain management. I said no and asked to be sent to a spine specialist. 11 days later I saw the spine surgeon who did an x-ray and noticed I had degenerative disc disease. He ordered a same day MRI of my C-spine. One day later I have been diagnosed with a bulging disc.

My question: What is the best treatment? Has anyone had good luck with just physical therapy and steroid injections? What is the future going to hold if I have (A) infusion (bone graph) (B) artificial injection (metal?)
I forgot to mention, I did several visits of chiropractor before I went to the doctor the first time.

My baby Leopard Gecko seems to have a spinal injury or a muscle spasm. His back is arched at a strange angle and his spine isn’t straight, he’s been like this for a couple of weeks now. Is there any kind if treatment I can provide for him?

My fiancé’ & I were rear-ended Monday by someone exceeding the speed limit by 80mph. We were going about 15 mph (just pulled out and got straight in the road) The other person was doing 125 mph when we were hit. It of course totaled my car and unfortunately the other driver did not survive. I still owe about 00 on it so I am sure I will get that much for it. Their insurance company took fault of course & got me a rental car for 70 days. I went to ER that night & all x-rays were ok. I was released w/a cervical strain & a thoracic strain & a knee strain. I have only slept maybe 8 hours total in 4 days, everytime I close my eyes I see the accident, I am working b/c I can’t afford to stay out but my production is going down hill b/c I can’t focus. My neck pain is getting worse & my back as well. I went to doctor yesterday & he basically said I had strains & muscle spasm that should go away. He gave me anti-inflamtory meds & something to help me sleep but that hasn’t worked yet,
last night I still didn’t sleep, and when I do I have nightmares of the accident. My fiancé’ didn’t get hurt but he has images as well so he is going to doctor to help him rest to. We both saw the person be ejected out of the vehicle and fly in front of our car. It’s horrible. People are telling me that I can get their insurance company to give us the value of the car and still be able to settle with the medical later. One is that true? Next question, everyone is telling us to get a lawyer b/c this “post traumatic stress syndrome” that the doc told me I had could last forever and I may always have problems with my neck and back. I need help; I have never been through this before. Please tell me ups and downs and what’s the best way to handle this? At first I
didn’t want anything except to get another car. But as times goes on I am so mad that this person was traveling this fast in a 45 mph zone. Our car that was totaled was my fiancé’s late aunts. He wanted to always keep it
because of sentimental value & also so that when we got it paid off we could also use the title for collateral…which we can’t do now. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The chiropractor has done wonders to alliviate the muscle spasm in middle back I go for treatments 3 x a week now. But since this all started I feel like tingling in other parts of my body. LIke my head and sometimes my fingers. I also have "warm" sensations in upper thigh at times, Doc said probably all due to the slipped disc’s. I am female and almost 64. At times this is scary, because I never had sensations like this and you just wonder what is going on. I feel vulnerable and so careful when moving in bed or bending. It is just hard to accept how my body feels lately. Doc says it will get better but takes time and treatments. This came to light when I strained my back moving my aunt in bed about a month ago. I used to have lower back aches, but never realized I had this problem.

During sex last night during deep penetration the lower right side of my stomach were the ovaries are had a pain. I got up to pee and then the lower right side of my back start to have pain. I’m thinking and hoping its just a muscle spasm, but it hurt so bad. This morning the pain is gone, but I’m scared it will come back.
