Comment from: ME!!!, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 22

I was in a car wreck 3 months ago. I was hit from behind at 60mph and knocked into another vehicle. I am still having a lot of pain in my neck, back, clavicle, hips, shoulders, and headaches, tinnitus, pain and numbness in right arm/hand. I have been to several doctors and they offer no help for symptoms. They say I'm not a candidate for surgery. Drugs just knock me out. So I'm either in pain or asleep. Physical therapy made symptoms worse. Chiropractor helps a little. The frustration of constant pain and no relief at a functional level and the disbelief and lack of support from anyone is making me depressed, angry and cry a lot. This seems never-ending.
