Question: Hi, AUSTRALIAN car accident april 2012, as passenger Left hand side of vehicle. On impact (4WD written off)vehicle stationary when hit from behind at impact speed 60km/hr (35mph)head turned toward driver on right.
CT revealed no breaks in neck(suspected at time)
Pain in neck area below, treated by
acupuncture and
massage, pulse treatment. anti- inflamitory and
panadol forte and gym rehab.
Current :-pain in the trapezius area, tight. extending to bottom of skull Right Hand side. where there is an uneasy feeling. queeziness feeling, normal head rotation movement now.
----------------------------
had
electric shock feeling (ants)from neck extending to fingers, legs, toes both sides of body april 2013, and again December 2013 both lasting about 7 minutes.(no other incidence)
November 2013- coincidental removal of
Thyroid swelling increased thyroid Aughust-October,pressing onto the trachea, Left hand side removed , leisons and goiter/present (benign growth of 20mm) but also , new and old hemorrhage found during biopsy. The bleeding CANNOT be explained by surgeon or GP. The removal of Thyroid also took dull ache away from right hand side back of head, this too could not be explained -but Ache is returning but with more feeling.(pain no dull ache) Pressure on soft spot/or trapezee down low takes/alleviates pain.
Conclusion of GP consultation today: Pain currently in neck and back of head dismissed by GP saying that i can do no more damage and what is done cannot be repaired and i should just put up with it. GP says ITS to late for any other scan to determine if car accident caused
neck injury problems.
GP assisting surgeon says that if I go to another Doctor and tell them I have electric shock feelings from neck down as stated they would think I have
anxiety and put me on medication. (these only occurred twice)
Subsequent Thyroid tests Ok , no medication needed.
1.(is it possible that car accident and not growth caused the swelling?)
2. why am I still having pain in the back of head and trapezee area again? Will I get more deteriorating problems or non like GP says.(I feel it getting worse)
3. is there anything else I should look or get check out on?
4. Only scan was the CT, on head. IS it to late for another? if so what type should be done.
