What does a cat scan show..internal organs? does it show condition of tnedons, ligamnets, muscles or bones?

I was in a high speed wreck and they did 3 or 4 cat scan I went through machine from head to just below abdomen..

I had some xrays but not sure where..I know my foot, ankle and hip were xrayed.

My back or shoulder blade feels broken when I kind of lift my hands above my head or move a my side a certain way..my hip and leg just below side of knee feel very painful like a severe searing pain but not unless I move my body a certain way..back.shoulder blade hurts all the time though even with severe searing pain..could this really be only a strain/strains..

I have no way to hospital to see records from my wreck 6 days ago as only liability and have not got a car yet..I don't think they will tell me on the phone where they xrayed will they..

I am terrified they will not pay any medical bills..I only have $5000 insurance on me and crapp, cheap HMO and cat scans and xrays alone well over $6000 plus three

plus three or four days in hospital (sorry I am getting my days all mixed up)..I did not go to the rehab like they suggested due to several things..one being I thought if I saved them money, they might pay for me to go to the chiropractor which is the care I want except for some pain pills..it is cheaper but the HMO and insurance are cheap and I am terrified I will never be able to be without pain or walk well. I don't know what to do..

1. any suggestions

I would have to be sure there are no broken bones and give xrays to my chiropractor first. but

2. what does the cat scan show and did it see if my bones had any fractures including a hairline..since I was in a neck brace and not walking I did not feel all my injuries in my dazed state to tell them where to xray..

3. will they tell me on the phone where thy xrayed.?

I have no way to get anywhere and can't go to the doctor and don't know what to do..my pain meds will only last at most a week..I am supposed to go and get stitches

The hospital is required to give you the complete results. If they missed anything, then you just might get rich with a law suit. I've heard that all you need to say to a hospital is that you'll get Michael Moore on your side, and they'll treat you better.
Go for futher medical care. Tell them what's going on.

You may need to go to a hospital that helps indigent people. Also, when you get your stitches out, you'll be given more pain meds, but they will likely not be the strong narcotics.

This is not the time to worry about bills; if you do, you might not go for follow-up treatment and that could make things worse. Was the accident your fault? If not, the other person's insurance has to pay your medical expenses.

You are a perfect example of why the US needs universal health care. What you are going through would not happen in any other Western country.
