Car Accident 45 Days Ago and Still Severe Pain?

Hi Stephen here from Long Island. I was in a Car Accident 45 days ago and Still Severe Pain. I was stopped at a red light and someone hits me from Behind. I was the only one in the car. they told me I have herniated 3 disc 1 in my neck and 2 in my back and have nerve damage. I am still in Severe pain 45 days later. I am on a Morphine Patch and that is not helping much at all. I was on Codeine but the doctor gave me the Patch because he saw me crying and in so much pain. Am I making a Mountain out of a Mole hill or is this Normal. I been going through Psychical Therapy and that is not helping worth a Dame. They gave me a Pain/Numbing shot in my back and that has not helped either. I see a Spine Doctor on Monday of the coming week. What will he do I want to have surgery but can he do it if I ask him to nicely be3cause of my severe Pain. Also I have not got a lawyer yet any good? Respond what this Severe Pain could be?

    Get a few different opinions from different spine docs... Orthopedic and Neuro Surgeons.

    You seem to be going along the right path. First comes PT and anti inflamatories, then comes the shots, then finally surgery.

    You should get a lawyer.

    Source(s): I had neck surgery.
