I was involved in a minor car accident where the van that I was in
was hit from behind. The damage to the vehicle was very minimal but the
trauma to my neck being slung backwards rapidly and then forward was
extremely painful. Since it was my parents driving I pretended that I was
alright. The following day I started into a relapse with my MS which never
subsided. That was a year and a half ago. I have full body numbness,
spasticity, ON and bladder problems. There is no doubt in my mind that the
car accident caused this. Prior to the accident I had been working full
time with very limited symptoms. Now I am on disability.
Rapid Response:
Yes it does.
