Ohio car accident causes bulging discs
Our client was pulling over for an ambulance when another car rear-ended her. She was transported by EMS to University of Toledo Medical Center with complaints of musculoskeletal pain, specifically low back pain. X-rays were performed of her left hip. She was given prescriptions for her pain and was then released from the hospital.
Our client followed up treatment with following her emergency room visit. It was noted that she had complaints of pain in her neck and low back, and that she was suffering from tenderness to palpation over her bilateral trapezius and that there were paraspinal cervical muscle spasms. X-rays of her cervical spine were taken, and she was diagnosed with having severe whiplash and left sacroiliac sprain and was given a soft cervical collar. An MRI was also ordered. Along with the cervical collar, our client was given injections of Lidocaine and Kenalog into her bilateral trapezius. She was taken off work given several pain medications.
Our client sought physical therapy treatment at Comprehensive Rehabilitation. The therapist worked on improving a pain free range of motion of the cervical, dorsal and lumbar spine and also decreasing her muscle spasms. Exercises used to treat her were aquatic therapy, stretching, and different types of strengthening exercises.
Our client underwent an MRI at University of Toledo Medical Center, which revealed degenerative changes at C2/C4. This MRI also revealed that there were some small disc osteophyte bulges at C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7, which resulted in effacement of the ventral thecal sac.
During a follow-up with her doctors, our client was advised to stay in her cervical collar, as well as to continue therapy and receive additional injections. She was also referred to a vascular surgeon for a consultation for her varicositities in her lower extremity, and a . Dr. DEXA scan was ordered. She continued to treat and received more injections into her cervical spine.
The vascular surgeon noted that since the motor vehicle, my client had swelling in her legs, as well as varicose veins, which became painful. She was prescribed an elastic stocking and told to get an ultrasound. It was also found that she may be a candidate for surgical or laser treatment due to this motor vehicle accident.
Due to the Ohio car accident injury, our client was diagnosed with having neck spasms, neck sprain, trigger points of the neck, right low back lumbar strain and right sacroillitis, as well as the need for radiofrequency ablation of the sacroiliac joint. Another MRI of the lumbar spine was done and revealed that there were several areas of degenerative disc disease and L4-L5 disc budge. Laser treatment to the client's veins were done. She has continued to treat for her bulging discs and pain and may need to have additional back surgery.
Normally, people make full recoveries after this type of accident. Unfortunately, our client had to undergo painful injections into her spine. When the injections didn't provide enough relief, she had to have a surgery to treat her sacroiliac joint.
