Hello,

I was involved in a traffic collision about two weeks ago at work. The vehicle I was in was stopped, and the vehicle that t-boned us was going about 25-30mph. At the time of the collision I was looking to the right and had my body turned to the right. The vehicle struck us from the left and tweaked my back the the left in an odd angle. I went to the doctor and my x-rays checked out ok. This was about two weeks ago. I went to the doctor to do a follow up. She checked out my abdomen. When she was pushing on the right side just below my ribs I felt a sharp pain in my spine. I checked my left side, and I get the same sharp stabbing pain. I told her I got a sharp stabbing pain in my lower back when I push on my side. She said thats unusual and she didn't know what it was. What are your thoughts on what it could be? The doctor I went to was an employer doctor, and she had the letters PA next to her name. Any thoughts? Should I go to another doctor?:confused:
 
Hi, :wave:
i'm no expert, but it sounRAB like you've pinched a nerve, an MRI may be of help to explain more, so if nothing else explains it, try getting one, just make sure u take it easy for a while and rest, try not to lift any heavy objects or do anything to physical like twisting and moving sharply, you dont want to hurt yourself more, it sucks to hear about wat happened and i hope u figure out wats going on, if u dont find out anything soon, let me know and i'd be happy to do some research for u to help find out wat the problem is :) take it easy hope you feel better soon let me know if u find out anything :bouncing:
 
Also just to let you know PA stanRAB for Physician Assistant, it means the person is not actually a doctor or physician, so it may make a big difference to go to an actual doctor. goodluck :p
 
Thanks for the reply. I'll look into getting an MRI tomorrow. I would think the doctor or chiropractor would order one to help treat me. Guess not?
