dumb enough to admit this to the state patrolman that arrived on the scene). My little Honda was thrown into the ditch, flipped over at speed. I was thrown around in the compartment and suffered a very bad back injury which took several years (okay, five or six) to mend with lots of exercise, chiropractic, and care.
Take it easy, be glad you survived and GOOD luck in your recovery.
Work on getting abdominal muscles in top shape: they're key in lower back strength.
Also: don't listen to "specialists" telling you about surgery: lower back surgery is usually not necessary and doesn't do a damn thing. I was told by two leading neurologists that I needed fusion. They were full of shit. I'm fine today.

For luck there are people standing to what they have done.
Although the guard rail didn't do the car or my neck/head any good, it DID prevent me from being propelled across the median into oncoming traffic - which might have killed or maimed me and several other people besides.
Glad to hear you finally recovered, back injuries can be a real bear, and so slow to heal. The trucker who hit me tried to claim he hadn't hit anything, although he allowed that he might have crowded me and I "panicked and lost control". HAH! Bastard never looked or signalled, I was almost up to the cab passing him. Luckily, I have a witness who also gave a report to the sheriff's deputies.
Thankfully, my back is OK, just bruised disc in my neck and wrenched muscles. I am very wary of any sort of back surgery, thanks for the warning. You are right about the exercises, they're a good idea anyway.
The main issues are the, bleeding, floaters and flashes in my eyes, as apparently the retina, which looks OK now, can tear some time after the initial accident. :-( At the very least, it looks like I will be looking at floaters...forever. I go back to eye specialist in a month for re-check, unless something bad happens in between.
At least I am alive to see spots and complain.

That donīt make you scratch?
I lost something in the translation there.
*My* trucker insisted at first he had hit nothing - despiste the big blue dent in his trainer and the fact he saw a blue car behind him careen into a bridge.
Tin wrote that the driver said it was his fault, and that was not dumb BUT honest!
