Car accident injuries

I was in a car accident a year ago today.  I had an open tibia fracture and a fibia fracture.  I have a metal rod in my leg now from knee to ankle.  I am still experiencing moderate to severe pain in my leg and also my lower back and neck.  I have severe headaches about 5 days a week.  I have some xrays that i was wondering if i could have some one look at and let me know if they can see a reason why i might be experiencing the pain that i am.  If you know about bone structure and orthopedic stuff please contact me so i can send some x-rays.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I will be seeing a doctor this week but i wanted to try to get some input before then.  Thank you

hi matt,
your tibia has joined very nicely. No problem inthat.
I saw your neck x-ray. But they are one year old and nothing special in them except for the cervical spine straightening.
Ankle x-ray is not there.

Please screen the following x-ray -
1) Ankle - A.P, Lateral and Mortice views
2) C-Spine- A.P and Lateral.
3)L.S Spine- A.P and Lateral,

and let me know. i will tell you more.
