Hi everyone,
I was involved in a car accident the day before yesterday. My brother was driving, and as we were pulling away from a set of traffic lights, another car decided to start turning right, and we went straight into the front of it. Both cars are write-offs. We weren't driving at an excessive speed, less than 30 MPH since we had only just left the traffic lights, but the crash did jolt me forwards.
I'm six-months post surgery, and my back feels mostly fine. I called my surgeon yesterday and he wants to see me to make sure everything is OK, so I have an appointment with him on Monday.
I was not at all impressed with my GP, however. I went to visit her yesterday because my mother was worried about my spine and just wanted her to take a look at it. My neck has been aching a lot since the accident, and she diagnosed whiplash, but she didn't seem at all worried about my back, since, apparently, I now have a "super-strong" back. Is it just me, or is the reason we're taking all these precautions like not lifting anything heavy, or bending a lot because our backs are more fragile than before the operation? Please tell me if I've got it wrong, but that's been my impression throughout the whole thing.
