I was in a car accident 10 months ago and after two days of talking to his insurance company I immediately called a lawyer. My car was totalled, it was 100% his fault (I have police reports to prove) and I have missed countless days of work and am still in pain. I went to three different types of doctors, had x-rays, mri’s and all sorts of tests done but i still have no use in two of my fingers, numbness and shooting pains. My last chiropractor released me basically saying there was not much more I could do and had to live with it. I have been told to see a neurologist but none will take me without insurance, or just based on my lawyer information.

I told the lawyer to just go ahead and start proceedings. She said they will come up with a demand. I dont know how this is all supposed to work but I want to make sure they are doing things RIGHT. I don’t want to get screwed just because I dont speak the legal jargon. If anyone can to tell me what to expect at this point, or what I can be doing or the lawyer should be doing that would be very helpful.

Hi,

Since 1997, I have been experiencing significant pain in my SI Joint. The pain was originally in the SI Joint, however it eventually affected other areas of my body because of overcompensation. I have seen many different types of doctors and had many different opinion but to no avail. I have also had many types of tests taken but no finding. The pain and spasm in my SI joint can be debilitating at times; sometimes I speculate it is a bulging disk, however the MRI I took over six years only showed a small bulge which is normal for a former athlete, and I was told it was not what was causing my symptoms. M symptoms include SI joint pain, tightness and occassional pain in one or both gluteals, and when this happens, I can have tightness in my quads and calves, but no sciatic type of pain. My question is it possible to have a bulging disc in your SI region but not have the radiating pain associating with a bulging disc/sciatica? Thanks.
