A member asked:

Extreme body aches after car accident. why? how long to go away? how to relieve them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Think of it this way, you just got beat up without getting into a fight. Your body may hurt for a couple of weeks. If over the counter medication is not helpful for pain relief, then ask your doctor what the next best step would be.
