Thank you for asking at Healthcaremagic mr beam
I read your question and I understand your concern. With history of road traffic accident back pain is inevitable. Percocets and hydromorphones should be enough. Take some muscle relaxants for the pain too. Rest for a while. If the pain is still there I would like you to get to ER and let them give you some IV pain relief. You may increase the dose of the medication you are on for the relief but not overdose.you can take 10 / 650 percocet every six hours for the relief and no more.
Talk to the pain management facility and let them sort it out for you. Get a massage from chiropractic or do it at home . MR scans have ruled out any injury so it's mere a sequelae of pain and will resolve with passage of time.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

OK I have had an MRI emergency rooms do not do anything including giving you pain relief they don't do anything at all besides walk in the room run another X ray tell you that you are okay and medically discharged.... and I very highly doubt Auto Insurance progressive will pay for a back massage it just does not sound believable or realistic any other suggestions? Or should I just put this in your queue for someone else to answer as far as an orthopedic for chiropractic doctor?
