You expected to feel better by now. Someone told you concussions typically resolve in a week or two, or you read that online, and here you are past that window still dealing with headaches, or fog, or fatigue that doesn’t match how you’re otherwise recovering, or sleep that isn’t right, or a low-grade feeling of […]

If someone has used this phrase to describe what happened to your spine, or you have seen it on an imaging report or a physician’s notes and you are trying to understand what it means, you are probably already aware that this is a serious diagnosis. What you may not yet have is a clear […]

Your shoulder has not been right since the accident. Maybe it hurt from the beginning and you assumed it was muscular. Maybe it felt tolerable at first and has progressively gotten worse. Maybe you’ve been told it’s a strain or a contusion and given anti-inflammatories, but the pain is still there weeks later, and certain […]

Your doctor used that phrase, grade 2, and you wrote it down or you remembered it and now you are here trying to understand what it actually means. Because a grade implies a scale, and a scale implies that some whiplash is more serious than other whiplash, and you are trying to figure out where […]

Something has changed since the accident and it is not just the physical pain. You are not yourself.

You feel worse than you expected to, or you feel fine but something in the back of your mind is telling you to pay attention. Maybe you took a hard hit to the abdomen, or your chest struck the steering wheel, or you were thrown against the door and the impact was more significant than […]

The accident did not seem like much. The other car was not going fast. There was not a lot of damage. Everyone walked away. And now, weeks or months later, you have an MRI showing a herniated disc and a doctor using words like nerve root compression and possible surgical intervention, and somewhere in the […]

You went to the doctor, or the emergency room, or urgent care, and they examined you and ran some tests and possibly told you everything looks normal. But your neck hurts, your head aches, you feel off in ways you’re struggling to describe, and normal doesn’t match your experience at all. Or maybe you haven’t […]

Someone used this phrase to describe what happened to you, a doctor, an adjuster, maybe your own attorney, and now you are trying to figure out what it actually means. Because from the inside, soft tissue injury does not feel like a category. It feels like pain that woke you up at three in the […]
