    not so far... i have a herniated disc and 2 bulging disc and trying to get treatment out of the insurance company is like pulling teeth... my doc wanted me to go for some steroid injection and physical therapy but the insurance only wants to pay for one treatment at a time... so im fighting with them... i haven't had any improvement since the accident on April second...
