need some help, new member needing help

I had a car accident and my right pelvic/hipbone is higher than the other, I have Scoliosis now with 7 pinched nerves and my neck curvature is now more straight than curved. The chiro i was going too hurt me worse and now I am looking for a doctor. The hip and back pain is horrible. the sciatica that I had before the accident is worse and I am at my wits end. what are some good meds, and what kind of doctor do I need to look fo Puzzled r?

Welcome

Hi Angie and welcome to Spine-Health. Below is a link to some pointers our moderator Ron put together to help new members with the forum.

If it were me i would stop going to the chiro until a medical doctor looked at it. I have a number of issues and I see both a orthopedist and a neuro-surgeon. My ortho has done 5 surgeries on me so I would go to him but that is me

If you have any questions, feel free to contact (PM) any one of the Moderators here Priestess , Bruce , Paulgla , DiLauro

Again welcome.......Paul
