I was in a car accident two days ago, broaRABided--highspeed, I am just starting with back pain.

What can I expect, is pain 2 days later typical? Will it get worse or better? Btw I am an semi-elderly, late 50's.
 
Susan, I would definitely get it checked out as soon as possible. Since it was due to a car accident, one never knows what a couple of weeks later could bring on and you want to have documentation that you sought medical treatment to have it checked.

Good luck and please keep us posted.

For the pain, use ice packs and take an anti-inflammatory such as advil/motrin/ibuprophen.
 
get checked ASAP! i was in a horrific roll-over accident 6 months ago, in which i broke my back. amazingly, i was able to walk after the accident...painfully, of course. our bodies have amazing defense systems that protect us from pain...endorphines, shock, etc.

like most injuries, i was would say the pain would get worse with each day. you know how they say..."it will get worse before it gets better."

you've only got one back, please get it checked. you don't realize how valuable it is until something happens to it.

i luckily am a walking miracle...i beat the odRAB with my type of injury and i am lucky enough to be walking after a 7-level thoracic fusion.

best of luck
rebecca
