Good that you survived your ER trip. Not long ago my office got a tour of the local ER after a lot of construction, and a couple of days later I was there on the other side of the counter. I much preferred being on the business side of the counter. Yes, ERs do suck
Cervical collar? Are you on a schedule of 24 hours a day for a week or so, then 12 hours a day for another week? That seems to be what the doctor I used to work for always prescribed. Just wear the damned thing to the office, if it helps it's worth it.
Be careful about mixing meds, I'd hate to hear that you killed yourself that way
No pics? I've seen these things before, sure they look funny, but what the hell, post pics anyway
