hi i hurt my back at work in jan 2006 and went through some bad times pain was bad and my marriage was suffering my kids missed out on having a happy mum and i lost my job because they did not do enough to help me return to work so finally terminated my employment. I was compensated for it about a year ago and thought i would take control of my life again. I tried to put the pain last and get on with it stopped complaing to family and if any one asked how i was doing i would say great it was working things were on the right track. my marriage was good my kids were happy and i was doing things with them even palying tennis and stuff and trying to give them what i could as best i could. i was able to do many things and now my limits and boundries so as not to cause to much pain it was a great accomplishment for me. 3 weeks ago i was due start a course to gain a job i could do and was so excited life was good> THEN 3 and half weeks ago i was rear ended by a young drver not paying attention and bam things got worse again i now have back pain with a vengeous, sciata back which had totally gone, whip lash upperneck shoulder and back pain joint pain headaches which cause naseau and am so tired. I don,t sleep well anymore i can't sit and am back to being grumpy and angry. I don't want to go there again but am sick of PAIN. My doc said not to get a laywer and says this is not so bad it is bad to me so last week i got a laywer and told my doc he was not happy and said now my pain will linger for a lot longer because i have a laywer and when i told him i had pain here and there he says not related to my car accident even though it was not there before. so i got another doctor who has ordered ct and xrays and physio she seems to be concerned i may have done more damage (knock on wood) hopefully not. so this is where i am to stop from screaming my head off i thought i would vent so sorry its so long
thanks for listening
