Some of your symptoms possibly warrant a visit to the Emergency Room. But you should not drive yourself.
Have you looked into whether your state has a Victim's Assistance program? Some states do and it is for a situation similar to yours.
I have a hard time relating to your 'no insurance' situation since I have always covered my family with at least some basic health care plan, even when we were living on a below poverty level income for about 7 years. Being self-employed, I always paid for our health plan out of pocket. Our health plan was paid before we paid the rent. A PPO plan with a high deductible but also wellness care is a minimal necessity for a young family.

Well, I've had a recent CT scan of my head and neck that came back negative. I've been to the emergency room twice [since i've been released from the hospital], the second time was recent and that's when they gave me a CT scan. The first ER I went to they told me I was just nervous/stressed out and I needed to relax [lol!]. The second hospital/ER I went to actually had my medical records from when I was injured. They gave me a CT scan of the head/neck and the only thing that showed was acute sinusitis. So doesn't that rule out anything serious?
As far as the victims program, I just printed out the application for Nevada's Victims of Crime Program. My mother actually told me about it, and good thing I filed a police report when I did. They cover medical bills and prescription medications and a lot more
.. So help is on the way.
