Spoke to OSS and since I am not having radiating pain down my arm or tingling in my fingers I am waiting to go to their office on Tuesday instead of emergency room. They can do x rays and MRI's in office. The muscle aches and spasms are killing me. Taking anti inflammatory and using TENS unit but afraid to take real meds and mask any pain that it occurring.Anyone else get into an accident and fine after being rear ended. I need some words of wisdoms and good thoughts. Thanks

If you were truly hit by a vehicle with a closing velocity of 30 mph that weighs 1/3 more than yours, my opinion would be to quit screwing around and go to the ER/urgent care and get at least cervical x-rays done to make sure there are no obvious signs of trauma i.e. broken screws, avulsion/uncinate/zygoapophyseal fractures, ligamentous instability.
