      I'm a female 33yrs.old.My husband & i were i a car accident a lil over 3 yrs.ago.We were t-boned on the driver side which my husband was driving,sent us airborn & then sent in the opposite direction,hit the median of a curb up over the median of the curb & that is how we stopped.I did have my seat belt on...Thank God!Otherwise i probably would've went thru the windshield.My injuries r neck,headaches,right shoulder & my right side which i now am left w/permanent disability.I compensate w/my left 4 my right side.I do have a case going & waiting 2 settle.I've been thru all the tests so i'm tired of the dr.scene.I'm in constant pain.I take darvocet & ibuprofen,which never fully helps but nothing really does.I just wish 2 get on w/ my life!Thank u 4 reading this!Have a good day!

      Treatments

      Pain Management Clinic Somewhat Helpful
      Therapy helped at the time but pain came back not 2 long after.Darvocet & ibuprofen,somewhat helps but nothing ever fully helps.I just live w/it as best as i can!Always in constant PAIN!!Ugh!
      Cortisone (Injection) Not Working
      Didn't work,infact it made me worse.Both made me sick,more dizzy then i already experience & breakouts!Oh,it was terrible.So,needless 2 say i'm not taking those treatments!
      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      Although i have had chiropractic treatment!It never really helped but massage did a lil & i mean at the time!What's a girl 2 do?
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I was in car accident 3 & 1/2 yrs.ago.U can read more about that on my pg.I have neck,rotator cuff(right shoulder),right side problems,Right down 2 my leg on that side,constant pain.But i also have headaches,bad ones.I have a case going.But i believe i do have post trauma because i get chills & scared thinking someone is gonna hit us(i'm the passenger).Especially big trucks because that's what hit us.So ya i'm stressed,depressed,irritable & i cry alot.I hate living this way due 2 know fault of my own.So ya it's been tough.

    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I was in a car accident 3 & 1/2 yrs.ago left w/neck problems along w/other problems.U can read more & get a better understanding.So,i get alotta headaches & they're worse than a migrane 2 me.I get nauseated,light sensitivity & so on.

      Treatments

      Aspirin Somewhat Helpful
      Works a lil on my headache.I find putting a cold rag over my head & sleeping it off helps but just barely.
      Magnesium Somewhat Helpful
      It's a vitamin...it does help preventing one somewhat.
    • Open Chronic Pain

      It all started 3 & 1/2 yrs.ago(which my husband was driving) in a car accident which now i'm left w/permanent injuries from my neck,which my neck curve is in the opposite direction so it's hard 2 swallow at times herniated discs which causes me alot of pain,rotator cuff,arm pain & my whole right side right down the leg.U can read the rest on my pg.In constant pain & i literally get no sleep.The headaches are terrible!Depressed & stressed out,i cry alot!

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      Well,i did get adjusted & probably need 2 go back.It's been awhile...on my left side of my body because i use it 2 compensate 4 my right.I don't know if i wanna do my neck again because it's in the opposite direction.I just have 2 do my own exercises 4 that but i do need a massage however!I also have hrerniated discs in my neck.
      Dextropropoxyphene Somewhat Helpful
      It does help some but not totally...nothing really does.Makes me sleepy but it's either be sleepy or deal w/the worst of the pain.I just make sure i eat even when i don't feel like it!
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Again it does help some but not totally but it's good 2 have it there when needed.
      Aloe Vera Somewhat Helpful
      It doesn't taste the best but it does help some & is good 4 u.Along w/ Apple cider vinegar but not at the same time.Honey & melotonin helps w/sleep.Again not totally but is good 4 u.Read my journal!(the 2nd one)
      Cortisone (Injection) Not Working
      Didn't work...Infact they both made me worse,made me sick & i broke out all over my face big time!Oh it was awful!!I'll never do that again!!
      Massage Somewhat Helpful
      I use the heck out of this stuff!It does help somewhat!
