MVA and post op care

[Sweetpea32]

Well after finally getting better and starting to feel like I am on my way from my set back! I got into a accident last night coming home from work. I was in ER for 6 hours doing every test in the book to make sure everything was okay! I am fine otther than I am so sore and have bumps and bruises all over. Those darn air bags hurt! So my question is... how do I do follow up care for the mva when I have CM post op care also? Who do I call first?

Well just make sure that you keep a watch on it and if anything gets worse I would call again!!
Good luck with the PT, I hope it helps but remember to take it really slow. My PT said that right off that we had to go slow and I think that is why it has been successful for me.
So...make sure you find the right one that has some knowledge in this area. Good luck!

Well called NL and NS and was told since everything is normal with all the tests they don't need to do anything for follow up! Now just waiting for PT to see if they can help with at all. Ugghhh! So frustrating! Thanks for listening!

OH NO..you poor thing!! That could definitely make things worse for you! I agree I would call your NS and let him know what happened that is what I would do if it happened to me.

I pray that this won't cause another setback!

Hi...call ur NS...he should be advised as to the fact u were in an accident and see if he wants to see u or if he wants u seen by the NL again as a precaution.

Goodness gracious I pray all is well
