My daughter & I were in a serious highway car accident 15 yrs ago with whiplash. We both suffer with migraine headaches, TMJ popping jaw, muscle spasms in the neck and shoulders, and a tired feeling in the muscles at the front of the neck on either side (sometimes both sides). The worst thing is waking up feeling like you "slept wrong" and having a "crik in the neck" where you can't turn your head and that can last a few days. All of these symptoms come and go over the years, sometimes we have a real time of it and other times we would think it wasn't coming back. She started having a flare up a couple months ago. It started with the "crik in the neck" one morning except this time it did not go away with the usual Naproxin, Flexeril, Icy Hot rub, and heating pad. She went to the doctor after two weeks of it. He sent her for massage therapy which at first seemed to help some. He then sent her for PT but the worst thing is after a MRI and a bunch of tests, he says she has scoliosis! (sniff) How does a 32 yr old kid get that after having 3 kids and all the active years she's had? (sniff-sniff) Something in this woodpile stinks! I wonder if she should get to a chiropractor or other specialist? This doctor she's seeing is just a M.D. (She has factor 5, and she had severe pre-eclampsia after her four-year-old was born but otherwise she's been
a-symptomatic.)
