Suggest Treatment For Back Pain After An Injury

Hi,

My mum was involved in a small car crash 5 days ago and has hurt her back!



Now she went to the hospital and they sent her home and said it was just muscular! However! She is in alot of pain, can hardly move if she hasn't had any co-codamol! erm... she hasnt had any xrays.



Today she went to the walkin centre... and the doctor there examined her, the doctor told her she was going to treat it as a spinal injury as she had pain where she had touched! so they put her on a spinal bored and got took to the hospital for an xray but the doctor there didnt examine her or touch her in the same places as the doc at the walk in.... and sent her home again! Without an xray! .... What do u think she shud do?
