Answer :

answer:Me! A bulging disk in my neck and 5 in my back. I got in a car accident in september of 08, afterwards I was experiencing tons of back and neck pain. I went from dr to dr each one telling me I was ok and it was just muscles hurting from the crash and I would recover. I beg and fought with each dr to get a cat scan but all kept telling me it wasnt medically justified and i was over reacting. Finally I found a dr 5 months later who signed off to get me one and it turned out that i was right all along and my back was indeed fucked up. As per neg side effects non that I know of. I mean I am in pain every waking (hell even sleeping) moment of my life but thats just my back,and id say unrelated to the scan.
