Question:

Dear TAI Experts: I was in an accident 3 months ago and suffered whiplash, but still am having pain in my shoulders, back, and the back of my neck. I feel weak and fatigued all the time. I do therapy twice a week and chiropractor twice, and it all seemed to be helping, but I don’t feel any better. What else can I do to help with the pain? Sometimes it's unbearable. I’m on muscle relaxers but even they don't seem to be cutting it. I only had x-rays done, no MRI or CT. They told me I just overstretched everything. Can you give me some better advice on what to do please. ... read more »

Question:

Dear TAI Experts: About a month and a half ago I tripped and all my weight landed hard on my right knee on concrete. There was no twisting or anything, I landed right on it. It hurt immediately after and there was some swelling and bruising but nothing to suggest anything was broken or seriously wrong. The morning after I woke up and my knee was completely stiff. I couldn't walk on that knee. There was one bruise right where I hit, on my kneecap. There wasn't much pain if I didn't push on it or try to bend it. After about three days I was able to return to work. I am a server so I have to run around a lot. It was tender, but only certain movements hurt, like when I kind of tripped over a box and had to react so I wouldn't fall. Now when I sit for a while and get up it feels stiff and I tried to run yesterday and it started to hurt after about ten minutes. I can put pressure anywhere on or around my knee and can't find a place where it hurts, it's inside. It's also still a little more swollen than the left. It looks a bit different. I don't have insurance so I was hoping it would just go away. I am willing to go now if it sounds like I should? ... read more »
