Yes you can. However, it depends on how bad the injury is and how long it's been since the accident. You can't BS this stuff - if you try, you'll get hit with a fraud suit faster than your pain will go away.
Since you reported pain at the outset, regardless of whether or not you originally saw a doctor, you can collect benefits. However, you need to see a doctor and have him verify that the pain you're suffering was caused by an injury from the accident. If you're just trying to get some extra scratch, don't bother as the doctor will know if you're faking it. Real pain can't be faked, and any pain bad enough to warrant damages other than just medical bills needs to be serious enough to be seen by pictures.
An frequent example is a whiplash injury. Whiplash initially doesn't manifest itself as major pain, or even at all. However, after a few days it does manifest itself. MRI or CT's can verify the injury severity to the disks.
What you need to do is get to your doctor and have him do a diagnostic check with pictures - MRI or CT preferably, and plain films. It of course depends on whether or not you and your doctor can show that the pain was caused by an injury from the accident itself. You might want to consult an attorney first - they usually work with specific doctors that are also experts in accident matters.

Are osteopaths a good idea for someone with back pain or are they too risky?
A D.O. is a licensed physician who prescribes medications and performs surgery. They have the same educational and training background as an M.D. with the exception that they also have 300+ hours of training in the manipulation of the body's muscular and skeletal system. Many also spend 2-6 years of additional education and training to become board certified as well as licensed in the state where they practice. One should always do as much research as possible on important issues, such as medical care, legal representation, buying a home, education, and so forth.
AnswerOsteopaths are great. Find a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine (DO), not a chiropractor. DO's normally get their MD degree, then go an additional year of schooling for the DO specialty. AnswerProviding serious conditions have been ruled out by an MD a properly trained chiropractor can help.I had back pain for 20 years (from 17)and had tried everything. When I lived in US I saw a chiropractor who in 4 weeks reduced my pain level from 9/10 to 3/10. I had at times been up to 10/10 and considered suicide the pain was so bad. After another 2 months the pain had gone completely.
While working in a hospital (as an RN) an orthopaedic surgeon saw my x-rays and asked me who had operated on me as I was obviously pain free.
When I told him I had chiropractic he said " I suppose I will have to believe the evidence of my eyes".
I recommed a chiropractor too. A chiropractor has as many years as a MD or DO of college. They usually take x-rays in their office, and do not use drugs. If no improvement in 2 weeks, most refer to orthopedics for evaluation or order more tests such as MRI's. They also use natural supplements rather than perscription meds that have side effects.
Lower back pain on dimple it shoots down buttock and leg?
This sounds like sciatica. It can be really scary and bothersome, but it often goes away after a week or so. It can come and go. It is usually due to a pinched nerve in the lower back, a nerve that leads all the way down to the foot. Taking care of tight muscles with nice warm baths, a good mattress and pillow, and massage might help straighten things out. If it is chronic (keeps happening), talk to a doctor or nurse practitioner.

It is possible that there was irritation or damage to the bronchi or lungs, either from the foreign article or coughing that has caused irritation. If it improves after two or three days, ignore it. If not, see a doctor because there is a possibility that an infection has occurred.
The most likely cause is a muscle strain from coughing that should improve gradually over a period of two or three weeks.

It may be the suboccipital pain.

I was told mine was a build up of uric acid around my muscles and joints.
One view:
There are a lot of muscles behind and around your shoulder blades. There are also muscles between your shoulder blade (scapula) and your spine that can be in contraction (spasm.)
Your "lat" muscles can pull on your shoulder, too.
And your chest muscles may be tight and pulling on the muscles of your back.
From the way you describe the "popping" it sounds like you have some muscles that are a little "too tight."
My first choice for releasing or relaxing these muscles is massage--massage can work the quickest.
Stretching the short front muscles in your chest and strengthening the muscles in your back can also help. Also stretch the fronts of your arms.
When you stretch, stretch thoughtfully and gently.
You might have pulled your muscle. One of your lats runsfrom your waste up to your shoulder and then connects with your neck muscle. Try stretching or go have a deep muscle massage. Or try taking a HOT bath with a lavander, chamomile bath salt. (Found at walgreens). Repeat any of these as needed until pain subsides. This may be from a strained intercostal muscle (muscle between your ribs) or a rib that is out of place. If when you take a deep breath an you are getting rib pain. This is likely from an out of place rib. Have your MD send you to PT after getting your cardiac status cleared.
The symptoms you are describing would not be from a pregnancy of four days duration, could you have already been pregnant? Do you typically have cramps before or from your period? If you are still having this pain with out a regular period, you should be seen by your doctor or clinic.
While most pelvic infections are silent (cause no symptoms) there are some that can cause pain, the only way to know if this is a problem is by a pelvic exam.
Back and side pain can also be caused by a kidney infection, the only way to know if this is the cause is by a urine test.

What could a large painful knot in your upper back be and what you should do if it constantly hurts?
1. Is it over the spine, over one of your shoulder/shoulder-blade areas or BELOW the shoulder-blade area? 2. How long have you had it (did you just find it, or have you been aware of it for some time)? 3. Is it getting bigger? (rapidly or slowly) 4. Is it hard (sebaceous cyst, muscle spasm, etc), or rubbery feeling (lipoma --benign fatty tumor...which are usually non-tender)? 5. Does it ever drain blood or pus? (sebaceous cyst) 6. If you press on it do you get "shooting pains" up into your neck/shoulder/arm) such as a muscle spasm with a "trigger point"? 7. Is it discolored? (like a skin cancer such as basal cell, squamous cell or melanoma... or it could be a sebaceous cyst) It could be an "inclusion cyst" such as when you lie on your back working on your car and get a 'puncture wound' and subsequent infected nodule (I've done that).

Osteoporosis can lead to dizzy spells and neck pain, but these symptoms don't come along very often. You may have a condition known as cervical spondylosis and you should see a doctor for a confirmed diagnosis.
"Phenyl" is the name for an organic group in covalent compounds. Formally, a phenyl group results from chemically modifying one of the carbons in a benzene ring to replace the hydrogen originally attached to the reacted carbon by some other group. One way of writing the formula of phenyl is -C6H5, but by itself, this group is not stable at standard temperature and pressure, because it is a free radical and as such very reactive.

Typically a heating pad will help to ease lower back pain. The heat will help to get blood flowing in the area, dull the pain from nerve endings, and ease the tension on stretched muscles.
