What are my chances?

What are my chances?

I had an rta 18 months ago. Multiple injuries, none treated! 2 fractures to the spine(now have scoliosis due to that) rotator cuff tear, cervical disc ruptures, lumbar discs ruptured. Serious pain and now muscle wastage in the left arm due the accident. I am like the car you bring to the mechanic who then makes a mess of it. Try taking that car to someone else to repair, they will not touch it! Thats where I am now! No-one will treat me for fear of what they are taking on. Anyway, what are my chances of getting better after so long and being able to return to normal?

Dear Isthiscp,

One never is really “normal” again after serious injuries. It’s a matter of how much function you work back up to.
