Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I just joined the group, so thought I'd intro and also ask a few questions My name is Annette and I live in NE FL. My recent history consists of being rear-ended and then smashed into the car in front of me in an auto accident in Sept. I had a pretty severe whiplash (the back of my seat actually broke)but no fractures. Since then I have been to PT, had x-rays, MRI, EMG, nerve study. EMG was fairly normal except for median nerve entrapment in my left arm. MRI showed osteophytes, disc disease, and bulging discs at every level from C4-T1. I am currently taking muscle relaxers, Loritabs and occasionally Valium. They gave me the Valium when I was having shooting pains up my neck. Needless to say I am having pain, and now my left hand fingertips are tingly all of the time, but not actually painful. I also have pain in my right elbow that radiates through the shoulder. The latest thing is a little disconcerting and I'm not sure if these symptoma are all part of the same thing or something entirely separate. I have some bobbling of my head when I try to hold it up at times. I alsoseem to get very sore muscles (not just in my neck) from the least bit of strenuous activity. Hasanyone ever experienced these symptoms? Thanks for listening! Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
