Personal Injury

Trebor01

Hi all, following a resent accident I had, I have some mild to moderate neck and back pain which I am pursuing via a personal injury claim.

I have a medical to attend and have never been to one of these before.

Any advise etc as its not for another month. I hope my condition will have improved by then, but for now it is affecting my sleep and general day to day activities, and I am on some strong pain killers to help the situation, although feel I may need some other treatment, manipulation massage etc to help.

What advice can you want? Answer truthfully is really the only thing and dont be tempted to try and fake or exaggerate the extent of it

Do they just look at you there and then is what I am asking or do you discuss how you have been until the date of the medical. Right now its very painful but could be allot better by the time of the medical which rather underestimates the situation.....!!

Also as I am hoping to have some treatment i.e. massage etc to see if this helps will I be able to claim this back....?

They will typically both as you a whole bunch of questions about your medical history, the injury, how its impacted you etc as well as examining you. They will normally discuss if treatment can assist, normally it would be physio rather than massage but you can raise the question. If they say they recommend it then speak to your solicitors and just confirm you can go ahead with it or some may well have a company that they use (naturally with some commission involved)
