I had a head on car accident on 3-2-01 I am experiencing these symptoms: pain in the middle of shoulders, shooting pains and pins and needle sensations going down both arms to the ring and pinky fingers. I get neck and head aches sometimes, it is hard to sleep at night. Some days it is bad and others I can tollorate. My doctor has me going to physical theropy 3 times a week. I have taken anti-flammatory, pain med., musclerelaxers and a cortizon shot in right shoulder since that seems to be the worst. He is sending me for an MRI, but it takes so long for the results to come in. I just want to know what you think. Can some one with a ruptured lumbar disc continue to walk around or is it something that is too pain ful and needs bed rest. I just don't want to injure myself any futher, because I am an active female at age 38, I can not work because my job requires lifting and assisting patients at all times. Please give me your input and discription of my symptoms. Thank you and God Bless you
