Hey, I'm a little reluctant to share this with anyone besides my parents since I don't just want a flurry of pity messages asking me to feel better.
I got into a car accident about a month ago, it didn't feel that bad until about an hour after. USPS truck made a forced U Turn at one of my neighborhoods ....ed up road stems, he didn't look to his left and rammed into my car. Had to replace both doors, my left side front and rear bumper were both botched, and I caught my left side drivers mirror in the middle of the crash which was hilarious.![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
Overall it was the USPS truck's fault, and everything got taken care of. But an hour after the accident, I felt a sharp pain in my arm and I went to a recommended Chiropractor.
Fast forward today, a couple treatments and an MRI. The Doctor tells me that inbetween my C5-C7 sections of my spine are showing signs similar to Herniated Discs. It was very frightening to hear that, I doesn't feel like a herniated disc, the nerve in that part of the spine is associated with the shoulder and that's where I'm feeling the pain which pinpointed the injury.
I'm not really depressed, just in a shit mood, my mother had 2 herniated discs 7 years ago when we lived in Texas and she was in a pretty bad state. Wondering if anyone here has suffered an injury like this and how they handled it. The Doctor said that on paper the injury is described as permanent where I could have better days than others, but in reality it might be able to be resolved and disappear. But he didn't want to get my hopes up yet since we just discovered it.
