How Long It Takes To Cure Soft Tissue Muscular Damage?

I was involved in a car accident 5 days ago Im 40, 16 stone and have crohns disease. I was hit from the rear when I did an emergency stop the vehicle behind ran straight into back of me. I got out car but had to sit down and then was taken on a spinal board to hospital. Xrays were clear and I was told it was soft tissue muscular damage. However it is getting worse Im in alot of pain and cant take anything other than paracetamols - will this continue to get worse before better??? How long can I expect this to last??

Hello,

Any soft tissue recovery will take between 3-5weeks.During this period,the affected area needs to be protected to prevent any excessive movement or strain.Rest nature will heal by it self.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
