I was in a car wreck last month and went to emergency room and found out i have 2 fractures in my back. I was gave no brace but two meds. Naproxen which i stopped taking because it made me itch really bad and hydrocodone which i finished two days b4 i should have because it didnt help at all. I was told to follow up with a dr but couldnt due to lack of finances and no insurance etc. I was told to just try to sit up straight and i should be better in a wk or two- its now a little over a month after the fact and i am in so much pain-it gets worse daily-i have also noticed my back is hunching and dosent look the same at all. What should I do? I really dont want to go bk to emergency room but should they have givin me a brace? Its getting worse daily and I am already hunching and i know this will continue to probably get worse to...I so badly need this pain to top or at least slow down-i cant sleep right, eat right, use the bathroom right. Its hurting when i sit, stand, walk or anything! Please help!
