So I just finished therapy two weeks ago finally after nearly two months. Also found out I have a herniated disc (5mm L-5) and the shit bothers me when I wake up. I'm hoping for some money for my injuries within the next couple of months

Since you have serious injuries requiring medical attention. And possible later surgery.

I sure hope you have contacted an attorney specializing in automotive personal injury cases.

You have to protect yourself. The other driver's insurance company sure won't.

I hope you have a good outcome and get better without any surgery.

Yes, you definitely should have already talked to a good injury attorney. Been there. Done that!

Sorry to hear that. One of my good friends herniated his disc working like 2.5 years ago. He still isn't better and is miserable. Mostly because his company doesn't want to pay it so they keep delaying. He Had one surgery and that helped for a short amount of time then it re-herniated. Now hes just waiting for them to fuse his discs together. Point is those injuries aren't fun. Make sure you get taken care of in a timely manner.

Those brief three sentences give the impression you care more about making a buck than being able to walk and function without pain.

I got one like two days after the actual accident. I hope he's good considering this is the first time this has happened to me and I don't know what to expect

I've got a lot of spinal related problems and it's taking its toll on my neck and hips now, so I have a general idea of what you're experiencing.

I can walk and function no pain at all. Only pain is when I wake up in the am and goes away quickly with normal activity. Yes I do care about making a buck considering I lost my job because of this and in debt with some bills

I'm sorry man. Hopefully your buddy is finally able to get that taken care of. I asked the doctor would surgery help me but he suggest against it since it's not pressing on nerves. No they aren't fun and I hope it doesn't get worse

Just thought I'd add that this is the first time anything serious like this has happened so this whole process is new to me
