2 years ago i was involved in a car crash, I was with my room mate and was going to the doctors, then we were struct by a old man, it was 100% his fault, My room mate was driving, i was the passenger. It was not her fault, and the lack of control I had over the situation left me in a bad way, atleast if i was driving, even if it was not my fault, i could have done something.. or atleast feel in control. I can not drive due to medical reasons.
So once my room mate got a new car, she drives me most places, i am on dissabilty, and can not get my liceance. It's a physical thing and PTS from a Shooting in 2005 oct 21st. So i alrdy sufferd from nerve damage, and am not allowed to get a liceance.
Once my room mate got a car replaced, i needed drives again like before, to the doctor, to the store, to anything i want to do i completely rely on others, mostly my room mate.
when i got into a car again, and we went onthe high way, even tho the crash was only 20-30 km/h's or less, when i felt the car speed up, i got uncontrolable anexitys. This is still something i deal with daily. The crash was over 2 years ago now. the feeling of panic and no control is a daily burden, as i have nerve dmg was a prior event. So when i get upset, stressed out or anything i get great pain in my right hip. The car crash ihurt my left shoulder (Really bad it has a tare and is yet to recover much) and a bad left knee that is still bothering me, i am 32 and i weight alot, like 350+ pounds, so my knee's were fine, now it's not and im noticing it more all the time.
We try'd to find the man who hit me, we could not, we just knew he wasw 79. so when i looked into my problems, i defiently am experiencing more PTS. My shoulder hurts when i walk, when i WALK after 1 minutes it hurts so bad... ive been 2 almost 3 full physio Blocks,
(16 appoints x 3). i tryd some shots in the shoulder, and it didnt help. the psysio barely helped at all, only for a small time after i would get a "tenz" type machine, soon later it was back to a bad shoulder.
my therapist i like just retired, and it's really bring me down, i was comfortable with him, now there is nothing. it took me 3-4 just to get comfortable... and i am sueing this guy who hit me, it just doesn't seem fair.. any money is not worth this pain and anexity i feel... i can't be driven somwere without pain inmy shoulder and i anexity attack, as i have depression and anexity and am taking alot of medications. they help some... i can not throw a ball around, i can no longer swim, i can not play basketball or throw a football around, witch was basically me only exercise i did. this are no longer an option.
It just seems like the world is so unfair to some people, i had no control over this and my life is changed forever, I had no say in what happend, or control of any type. now i feel this awful PTS come over me in cars.. i felt like i needed to reach out to some people, maybe some with similar issues and we could get some advice of what you did, or something that helped being able to feel safe in a car again... not have pain while walking, being able to do the limited stuff i could do, I was alrdy limited, now i am limited of the limited.... witch is null. If anyone had any advice for me i'd be very greatful.
