Honestly, with your allready bulging disks, I would suggest you go to the ER.

I am so sorry honey. I understand you don't like the thought of surgery or docs or anything but you really need an xray. (Plus you sound like me when I got whiplash) BUT the big deal here is what did the crash do to your existing back problems? You know how serious this could be.

Please be safe rather than sorry. Please?
