Suggest Treatment For Shock Sensation In Lower Back After An Accident

I had a severe car accident about one week ago. I was stopped at a red light and the car hit me so hard it totalled my Lincoln Town Car.

I am getting electric like shocks in my lower right back and apparently near or at my anus. Please tell me what the best course of action is. Thank you

Whiplash injuries or injuries secondary to sudden flexion and extension of spine are very common following such sudden crashes.
Suggest to rule out spine injury limbo sacral region.
Get a spine xray.
Pain ur describing looks like neurogenic.
So please consult.
