 Keep in mind immediately following an auto accident there may not be any pain. It is still important at this crucial time to get evaluated by a qualified professional who knows how to look for injuries, even if they are minor or hidden. Many people don't feel a lot of pain following an automobile accident until days later. Pain killers and muscle relaxers may reduce the pain but do not address the underlying problem.
