Car Accident: Don't know about the motor vehicle accident (MVA). Did you suffer abdominal trauma? Abdominal bruising? Were you prescribed narcotics for pain? Are you suffering from significant psychological stress from the MVA? Were you checked medically right after the accident? At this point, being medically checked may be your most prudent course of action.Take care.
