  • Car Accident, 6 months ago - ongoing back pain since then...who do i see about my back?

    I was in a head-on collision 6 months ago - was told the night of the accident that i had at least 2 fractured ribs, and was in Major pain for months! That has since then healed up for the most part...but i still have on-going major back pain all over my back (between shoulder blades, mid-back, lower back, ribs) it is all sparatic and varied.

    I also have stiffness/tightness in my neck when doing dishes..etc.

    i also have TMJ in my jaw :( due to the accident...i couldn't even open my mouth more than an inch during the first month.

    I went to a chiropractor today, but didn't let him adjust my back. I am skeptical about chiros....is it something i have to do the rest of my life?

    Should i go to an MD for a proper evaluation of my back?

    Looking on the internet...it just seems to be whiplash??????

    Is whiplash temporary? or long term? anything i can do about it?

    I don't know what kind of doctor to see for my back...which is why it has taken me this long to even look into getting someone to look at my back. i have looked online and in the phone book for HOURS!

    What kind of doc do i need to see for this???

    Thanks!
