My Nightmare

I was in an accident in June 2008, I hurt my neck and back. The spine doctor I have been seeing is horrible, because my x-rays are normal he gives me the impression he thinks I’m lying about my pain. It started as pain in the neck and back and in the last three months has become a nightmare because now I also have the following issues: Head is sore where skull and spine connect, sore shoulders, sore arms, sore hips, sore knees, nerve pain in left leg (even the fan blowing on my foot hurts), migraines depression, anxiety, hurts to sit…ect.. I feel like a burden and useless and need help.

Has anyone heard of an injury causing fibro? The hard part is this was a work related injury and I don’t know if the work comp insurance to cover me if it turns out I do have Fibro, does anyone know? Because of the pain and migraines almost daily, I can’t imagine returning to work but since the spine doctor isn’t finding anything on the x-rays I don’t think he will help me much longer. I have made appointments to see a neurologist and a rheumotolgist, not sure which can help me but I’m grasping at straws to find someone to help me!!
