question: While operating my crane at work I was rear ended by another piece of equipment. I was at a complete stop and bending down to the left over my armrest to pick up my hard hat when I was struck. I was very stiff but not too bad. This was on a Friday but by Monday I was in so much pain it hurt to take deep breaths. My neck and middle of my back were killing me. Plus I had a big lump in the middle of my back that lasted for a couple of months before going away. Since then I ve had my hips pelvis and knees start to hurt. I can t get up off of floor easily, can t sleep, can t bend over too much or sit for long periods of time. Plus a couple if times my shoulder blades felt like they were on fire and that pain traveled down my arms to my hands and caused shooting pain in both of my thumbs and pointer fingers. My accident was in November and I m not only still in pain but its worse. I ve tried physical therapy but its not helped. Other than that they have me on a muscle relaxant which makes me sick and they won t give me any kind of scans. I just want to know if this is serious. Please if you can give me a little insight. Thank you for your time.
