Two months ago I was in a rear end auto accident.  I have RR multiple sclerosis.  The accident caused severe spine and neck pain and spasms.  I have arm and leg weakness, and referred pain.  I am in pain management and physical therapy.  The strong medications aren working yet.  Just had my first visit a week ago to PM, so I'll give her a fair chance.  This is my third rear end accident (never my fault), so I was living in chronic pain already.  This one put me over the top.

I saw a spine specialist at Emory and he only addresses spine issues. I showed no immediate new structural damage, but severe soft tissue and nerve issues currently untreatable, except for the symptomatic treatment.  I am hardly able to get around.

I have pre-existing spine conditions, and I'm very concerned about potential impacts of MS and physical trauma coming from either direction.  I have symptoms which can mimic both in MS and accident injuries, i.e. arm weakness, leg weakness, which I did not have to this extent.  I have RR multiple sclerosis which has shown no major flare ups for the past two years.  I used to have them every six months and often needed inpatient rehabilitation.

If you can help me sort through this, or provide advice, I'm appreciative.  Thank you.   Stardust
