Good advice. My lawyer was supposed to get a hold of me today but was in court all day (so I was told). Not a good start, but I was also told by my insurance company that once I get my lawyer, I'll no longer be able to talk directly with my insurance company or theirs. Everything will be required to be run through my lawyer. That's how I'd prefer it in the first place. I'm really too busy to be dealing with this as is.

I have to see a doctor. Over the past week I've had some real pains in my back. I didn't hurt at all until 3 days after the accident. Before the accident I spent 4-5 days at the gym every week. I won't go to the gym until I get checked out. This may also mean (even after I get looked at by a doctor) that I will no be going to the gym for some time. It's pretty unfortunate since I get out of shape rather quick. This also means that I will not be able to do anymore work in front of the camera for some time.

Luckily I just got a new girlfriend, so I won't NEED the industry too much. LOL

Yeah what happened to me is that after my accident, I didn't talk to anyone except my lawyer who handled everything beautifully.

As far as the pain coming on later, this is actually a common occurance with soft tissue damage. I went right away on the same day as my accident just to nip it in the bud but honestly the stiffness (never really had any pain other than the daily result of close quarter combat training I was doing at the time). I did see a chiropractor twice a week for about a month and another doctor wrote up some prescriptions for muscle relaxers and pain killers (I still have most of them as I really didn't need them).

Anyway, hang in there. It takes some time (months in my case) to get the payout but it is worth it and the most important thing is that you are ok.

Are you a porn star or something?

Long story short, I was "male talent" for a while and now I do marketing and web-development for the industry. Occasionally I might do a video here and there, but only because I'm like an understudy now. LOL My girlfriend is OK with me being in the industry, and in fact likes it.

But I'm working to get out of the industry right now... Thanks to the tube sites and what not, my income is going down the crapper.
