After an accident?

Good evening,sorry if this isnt in the correct place.

So was in a car accident on 6th aug initially after went to hospital was checked over seemed to be no serious injury ect.2 days later woke upwoth alot of pain in my back,shoulders and neck,went to docs they gave me a few different pain killers and said its a case of whip lash.
Insurance company have been sending me for physio every week this has helped my back pain but the pain in my shoulders and neck has got worse and worse,physio has told me a few things he feels it is thats causing my pain and has given me excercises they really are not helping the pain and i feel it is getting worse.i have got 5 sessions left with the physio but if its not helping what do i do?

1.go back to doctors

2.phone the insurance company and tell them that physio isnt helping the pain in my shoulders and neck and see what they say?

Iv never been in a situation like this before so hopefully sombody is able to shed some light on this for me.

    Obviously go back to your dr if things are worsening (as well as discuss this with your physio)


    You posted this in the insurance forum rather than the health forum - go there for more health advice


    Insurance wise, if there is a liable third party and if you haven't got your own specialist injury claims firm representing you with a compensation claim then get one!
