Is my Solicitor trying to help or Not!

Hi everyone ( I am not asking for any legal advice here, just the knowledge of were i can obtain it from regarding my soicitor)
I really dont know where to find out the answer to my question unless i pay another solicitor. Hence why i am posting here, and i am sorry if it appears off topic but it is all connected with me being in debt and wanting to be debt free.

Problem I have
I had road accident some 2 years ago none fault. Otherside admitted liability and paid out passengers 18 month back. but my injuries are ongoing and i managed to get an interim payment of £1,000 12 months ago.
having lost so far over £50,000 in wages alone and dont expect to see most of it again and it is looking that i will never be able to do my job again.

I have been having physio at first and osteopathic treatment to the later part of the claim and my back is still really bad. after months of nothing i got a phone call today from my solicitor saying he has had an ok on a futher course of treatment from osteopath but thats 10 sessions over 3 weekly intervals, this means thats another 7 month treatments. I really do get some help from this treatment until it stops then i feel i am slipping backwards again.
The other part of the problem is I need another medical report as the original one did not allow for this length of time in recovery. I cannot have both I can either have osteopath and wait over 7 months or i can have no osteopath and go straight for another medical in the hopes this will close my case and i can get some finances back in my back to pay the bills that are growing by the day.

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction of some legal advice line that i can ask these questions to.So i can find out if my solicitor really is just dragging there heels or if what he says is correct. Because I need to get some financial matters resolved asap and while this drags on I am stuck with the debt and the worry that accompanies it.
Thanks in advance
Crystal

Do none of your car/home insurances have a 'legal helpline' service?

Thanks for that
Yes it is my car insurance that have placed this solicitor with me.
I have home insurance but they wont deal with my query I get as far as saying i have a solicitor on this and i am questioning if the solicitor is advising me correct or not and they say sorry it is not our area.
