You had the accident. Maybe it was a year ago, maybe several years ago. You dealt with the soreness, you settled your claim or let it go, you moved on. And now you are in a doctor’s office looking at an MRI and someone is pointing to a bulging disc and you are wondering, for […]

Something is wrong with your neck and arm, and you’ve either been told you have a C5-C6 herniation or you’re trying to figure out if what you’re feeling matches that diagnosis. The symptoms of a herniation at this specific level are distinctive enough that many people recognize them before any imaging confirms them, but they’re […]

It has been a few weeks, or maybe a few months, and you still do not feel like yourself. The neck pain that you expected to fade is still there, or it faded and came back, or it moved somewhere new. The headaches are interrupting your days. You are having trouble sleeping, or concentrating, or […]

You feel okay. Or mostly okay. Maybe there’s some stiffness, maybe not even that. The accident was real, it was significant, but you walked away and you’re not in the kind of pain you’d expect from a serious spinal injury.

You are probably somewhere in the middle of it right now. The crash happened, the initial chaos settled, and now you are in that strange suspended period where you are not sure whether you are fine or whether something is wrong, whether you should be calling someone or waiting, whether the soreness you woke up […]

You’re trying to figure out what your pain is worth in dollars, and the question feels strange even to ask. It felt strange the first time it occurred to you. Pain isn’t something you’ve ever thought of in financial terms before. But you’re living with it now, it came from someone else’s negligence, and somewhere […]

You have never had to do this before, and you did not plan to learn how. A few weeks ago, or a few days ago, or maybe yesterday, something happened on a road that was not your fault and now you are hurt and your car is damaged and your phone keeps ringing with numbers […]
