Just need to vent for a moment...

Most of you don't know, but I was in a car accident about three weeks ago and have been in pain ever since. This is the second car accident in the last five years, which also was not my fault. It hurts when I sit, but it's the worst when I lay down to sleep on the bed. No matter the position, it just seems to get worse every night. I've tried with a pillow under my feet, under my knees, between my knees, but nothing lets me lay in a comfortable spot. The pain relievers I was prescribed do absolutely nothing, and I definitely tried upping the dosage with no effect. It's driven me to try taking different dosages of over the counter pain relievers with no effect as well. I have two orthopedic appointments, since both specialists don't have the expertise to handle all of the locations that I'm having difficulty with. While I want to find out what's wrong with me, I don't want to be out of work because I'm almost sure that I'll lose my contract position with the company I've been with for that I really enjoy. They have told me of positions here and the next state over that they want to fill as a permanent employee with the company. It kills me that both times I've been a contract employee in a position that makes me happy, and I don't want to lose this opportunity again. I really hope that things will work out for this company, the people I work with and my bosses are great. I'm just venting, since some people in my life don't fully understand that even though I have already dealt with a car accident before. I just hope that there are others out there on FA who are doing better than myself.

I'm sorry to what happened. I hope you feel better soon, my friend. I am in a similar situation, except I don't have my job anymore, due to severe arthritis in my back. Hard to sit, walk, stand. Mine does slow the pain while laying down, though. My thoughts and best wishes go out to you. GET WELL SOON!
