What is the name of your state? Mi.
In February of 2006 I was injured at work. I was unloading my truck when a box fell and hit me in the back of the head causing a whiplash. The injury happened from poor loading of the trailer which was an everyday issue. I was immediately taken to the clinic. The nurse that took the x-rays started moving my neck and head in several different directions before even knowing the amount of injury. The x-ray showed that nothing was broken and you could see that on the left side of my neck the muscles were swelling. The doctor said it was whiplash. With a little time it would heal. The pain did ease up some but I am still having pain and stiffness in the same area. It is actually worse than immediately after the injury. I am no longer working for the company and I had told them in the past that it was still bothering me. My question is, is it too late to have this checked again under the same case and how do I go about doing this? I did go to a chiropractor for a while while I was still working for them and it seemed to ease it up some but soon after I was finished with the chiropractor most of the stiffness came back. The company didn't send me to the chiropractor, I did this on my own with my health insurance and paid my own co-pays.
