i was hit head on collision from a hit and run driver. Luckily, the other car's license plate fell off at the scene and I was able to catch her. I was also driving a civic and I think I got around 12k for it. My pain seem very similar to yours...my neck and lower back was in pain. My hips didn't feel right and my knees are not the same anymore. Sometimes...my knees hurt so bad, I cant even stand up. I've had multiple MRI and doctor visits and they have shown that my neck, back, and knees were damaged. I've gone through about 7 months of physical therapy, chiro, and acupuncture.
My body is feeling way better, but still...I'll have pains every now and then. oh yeah..i cant drive for long periods of time, otherwise, my back starts acting up. Getting into an accident is such a b.
My lawsuit is still going on and it has been nearly 2 years. I have no idea about the status and I am just gonna let the lawyer do what he has to do. I'm just gonna focus on my life, my work and studies.
You need to go to the doctor right away. I thought I was fine, but the pain did not go away for a week....good thing i finally went. You need to find yourself an injury lawyer. Keep track of all your medical documents. And prepare for a long journey of lawsuit!
Good luck man
