Got in an accident...

[The Dude]

So I'm doing like 20mph and this car cuts in front of the car in front of me and locks up the brakes to turn. The car in front of me locks up his brakes and swerves and manages to stop. I didn't. I was only doing like 20mph, but figured I'd go to get checked out anyway since my neck got super stiff. After 4 hours the Dr said I had some TMJ, something in my upper back and a concussion. I feel like I hit a truck at 90mph today. This sucks. I thought being a bigger dude would help in situations like this. My whole upper back and neck are sore. The other awesome part is despite the other driver saying the exact same thing and apologizing (obviously not his fault) I will be found at fault since the other driver dipped out

Sorry to hear that, I assume your well insured. Are you a beleiver in Chiropractors? I know a month ago I slipped on ice and fell real hard and went to my Chiro and he cracked my spine back into place

Hope you feel better, any training time off?

Ya I actually went to the Chiropractor yesterday, but I'm snapping and cracking like crazy today. I'm like double insured (AFLAC), so that's good. I'll definitely be missing a few days, but the Dr gave me all kinds of muscle relaxers and pain pills. Next week I'll try to get into the Chiro again. I just can't believe a 20mph crash can hurt so bad!

Damn Dude...

Be thankful you were not on a motorcycle, its the whole reason I got rid of mine years ago.

 

[dorian123]

get better man, amazing how something like that will cause more problems than you would think

In a car 20 mph isn't fast, but to your body it is. It is still quite the shock to your body when it gets tossed around at that rate. You wouldn't think though with the car "protecting" you that you get that banged up, but you were probably just tensed up at the time. Good to hear you're alright except the muscle pains

Lol! I actually got a couple back rubs today. I'm grateful it wasn't any worse, but I feel like a total baby.

Brutha, you got it backwards,, the bigger you are the more damage that can happen. A big guy getting hit or hitting something has more mass which means more force which means more damage. Sorry you got hurt bro.
If you have any pharm drug questions, hit me up. Happy to help

 

[Metal85]

which vehicle were you in? Yeah it doesn't matter how big you are, in fact it prolly worse when you have more muscle bc it's that much more to tense up

 

[1MoreRep]

Sorry to hear that Dude, glad you are ok tho.

 

[Metal85]

were you in truck or vette?

 

[The Dude]

were you in truck or vette?

Neither. I was in a company car. The Vette would've stopped on a dime.

 

[Metal85]

having any new pain or are things getting better?

 

[The Dude]

having any new pain or are things getting better?

I thought I was doing OK. I went to the gym and tried to do chest. My whole right side of my back and arm spasmed up. Fucking crazy painful. I have an Appt tomorrow to see if they will release me for work. The ER Dr said no way before Thursday so we'll see what happens.
It's crazy painful. I'm hoping to get back into the Chiro this week, but some investment opportunities presented themselves so I'm trying to get every penny I can out of the bank.
