Other Information or Comments
Please use this space to add any other information or comments you wish:
The day of the accident I was in shock so I did not feel in pain but 24 hours later after I
woke up in the morning , I felt it. It was like I got hit with a hammer from my neck down
to my hand and all my back, I was stiff and sore all through out.
I took time off work to recover I couldnt drive, I couldnt do anything, I couldnt even
pick up my own child, couldnt do shopping. But I was loosing money and statuoury
sick pay doesnt cover rent unfortunately and I had a family to support. So I had to reutrn
to work still in pain.
Whenever I get into a car or vehicle and I see a lorry I get nervous and start have anxiety
attack I start to feel really sick likes its going to happen all over again.
Physio has helped me but I still have damaged soft tissue I dont know how long it will
take to fix.
