I have had this pain for 8 years now with no relief from doctors. I have been told that I have nerve damage and I am considered partially disabled. With pain that is stopping me from getting back in to the work force. I have been denied disability because I am partially disable. I am at my wits end, is there any help out there for people partial disability’s to get some type of relief from chronic pain and help finding a job for persons with physical disabilities. When you have been told from vocational rehab the reason people with disabilities don’t get jobs is that the tell they have one. I do have one that impaires my life forever and I am not considered to be disable but I can’t get get relief from pain or find sutible work. It is getting to the point I wonder if i am better off dead…..really it has been a hard 8 years trying to survive with kids and not be able to provide for them like you use to before my auto accident……Help is needed Please

was in an auto accident a few months back that left my neck, lower back, and left shoulder injured. Soft tissue damage mainly. A muscle spasm (that could be seen to the eye – kind of creepy) on my neck, and one in my back area. Anyway, I am nearly through physical therapy – doing some strength training now that I have been “healed” – so anyway, how does one go about determining the pain and suffering amount? I understand that I will negotiate this with the other driver’s insurance (he was found 100% at fault) – but what are the guidelines? What is a reasonable amount and how does one go about figuring that out? Anyone been through a similiar situation and have advice?

I live in Nevada, was involved in a rear end collision and sustained back and neck injuries. I have had CT scans, X-rays, and MRI’s all done, which concluded that I sustained a severe whiplash injury and I also have some herniated and bulging disks in my lumbar spine, along with extensive tendon/ ligament damage from the impact. I have been going to a chiropractor, physical therapy, and pain management and will hopefully be medically released in the next few weeks. I have been medically restricted from working for the last 12 weeks and have lost approximately $12,000 in wages. My medical bills have (so far) totaled up to $20,830. That is a total of $32,830 this has cost me! Being a rear end collision, the other driver was obviously at fault and I was curious if anybody might have some idea what this case could be worth?
A little over a year and a half ago, my spouse and I where hit by an oncoming car. My spouse had some minor neck pain which subsided about a week later, however my pain lasted about a year and three or four months. I went to the ER, six months of physical therapy, several visits to message therapy and about five months of visits to the chiropractor. The offender’s insurance accepted full liability. My Current medical bills amount to about $8,600. I have been sent to collections and have been having to pay these bills out of pocket. Also, I had many sleepless nights due to my injuries, not to mention the accident occurred three months after my wedding. How much would be suitable to settle for?
I am 24 years old and was in a car accident in July and suffered back injury from it. I have been going to a chiropractor for about 3 months, physical therapy for about 2 months. The treatments seem to be helping other problems in my back and neck, but I still have a constant throbbing pain down my right leg and into the foot. Doctors have ordered many MRIs and none have showed any significant injury or any nerve being pinched, although the doctor says that I have symptoms of a siatic nerve being pinched. This pain in my leg has been constant for about 2 months now and I am seeing no improvement with it. The pain was so bad at one point, the doctor had to give a cortisone shot in my hip and that helped the pain to be more managable but the pain is still always there. What I cant figure out too is that I did not have the leg pain soon after the car accident. I only began with low back pain about a month after. Then I started with the chiropractor and after about 2 months of seeing him was when I started with the leg pain. I am unsure if it was something the chiropractor did that caused this and if I should continue with that. I am unsure what treatments I should stick with or if there is another treatment I should try. So far I have tried massage, chiropractic, and physical therapy. I am thinking about trying acupuncture too but havent yet.
Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? What do you think it could be? What do you suggest I do to treat it? I would love any comments. Thanks
What Causes Artritis In Your Lower Back….could It Be An Auto Accident Or Should I Get A 2nd Opinion?

Should I get a 2nd opinion on my back problem?
I was rear-ended first of August by someone exceeding the speed limit by 3 times. I’ve had a lot of back pain since then. I have went to 8 weeks of physical therapy which didn’t help any. I have been on pain meds & anti-inflamatory meds. My doctor had me go for an MRI. They called with results yesterday & said it showed up with mild arthritis and inflamation. I am only 27 years old, I have never had any back pain before now. Does this sound like something that could be caused from an accident and would these problems make my back hurt so much sometimes it keeps me in bed & keeps me from doing activities such as riding my bike, bowling, bending over, lifting heavy things, etc.? Should I get a 2nd opinion? Thanks.
I was in a 4 car pile up on June 2008 and received 2 impacts from the back and 2 from the front. I had several injuries which I have been able to heal from all but one. I still have some sort of injury to my neck and I’m sick of doctors telling me they don’t know what it is and passing me around like a hot potato. I have had 1 nerve block injection, 2 epidural injections and radio frequency ablation, taken several muscle relaxers and pain meds, along with nerve meds like gabapentin and lyrica. I have also gone to 2 physical therapy places and a chiropractor. I am currently seeing a pain management doctor (my 3rd one) I have had 2 MRIs of my neck, both came back normal. I’m at my wits end as to what to do next and the 13th doctor I have been to has just told me he doesn’t know what else to do. Here are my symptoms: severe headache all the time, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, dry mouth, seeing spots some of the time, left arm pain, left pinky going numb, sometimes my lips go numb, nausea, ringing in the ears, jaw pain; ice seems to help. I felt the pain right after the accident. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be or tests I should ask the doctor to do? Has anyone been in this situation before and can give some advice? Thanks!
I have worked at my current employer for 4 years. Very good attendence, very good performance, top notch employer. Two months ago I was the victim of an auto accident. In that time I have missed about 100 hours from work. Missed work was due to doctors appt., physical therapy appts., psychologist appts., all of which I had a doctors note each time. The other times I was out was from not being able to get outta the bed from my lower back pain. All this they are aware of and they haven’t said anything to me other than I hope you get to feeling better. Then they had a meeting with me today & wanted to know what’s going on & what can be done to help my production. They commented that I have always been a great employee but now it’s going down hill and they claim they understand because of the tragic accident I was in but the way they sounded is I better shape up or they’ll ship me out. They said I need to get with HR & show them all my medical notes. I am scared. Can they fire me?
