Has anyone else experienced hand weakness and tremors after a car accident? It's been affecting me for over 2 year's now and I've already seen a neurologist about it, neuromuscular specialist too. They want me to have an MRI done since they are suspecting it's my brain. They don't believe it has anything to do with my accident. But I'm not so sure. A few days after we were rear-ended I had numbness occur on my left side and lower back. It stayed that way for months. Also it sometimes comes & goes. I was left with this tremor and weakness. It frustrates me because it causes me to drop things and it shakes uncontrollably sometimes. I have to mention too that I also had a mild traumatic brain injury from the accident. I didn't know that was possible without hitting your head but when my neck whiplashed, it must've happened then. I have gotten whiplash before from other rear-end accidents.
The MRI had to be cancelled due to my son's illness. They said it'll be necessary to inject dye into my veins in order to get the information the Doctor needs about my brain. It frightens me. I react so easily to medications & have allergies.
What should I do? Wait and see if it worsens or get the MRI to get a diagnosis. I am no stranger to mysterious ailments and prolonged diagnoses, I have been invalidated by Doctors and suffer from C-PTSD/ PTSD. I have heard that medical PTSD is a real thing too. I suspect I have it. I lack trust in new physicians and get anxious about my treatments.
Thanks for taking the time to read my message.
