X-ray taken consecutives time each area for 1 day a part.Is it safe or harmful?


I been involved in a rear-end collision.And Im sitting behind.The day after the accident I consulted a doctor and I had my x-ray done 3-4x each part of my spinal bone.And doctor said it was fine but Im not convinced,bec.my bone hurts to much.The next day I went to another hospital and explained what happened.He suggested
that x-ray should be taken again.I refused at first and I asked him to get my first x-ray taken yesterday but he insisted to have new one so I agree.He said only 2 will be taken 1 for my cervical region and 1 for my lumbar but, when I was inside the x-ray room several xray was taken each part of my body neck,chest, my whole spine in every angle.Im afraid of too much exposure to radiation.Im aware that it kills cells.By the way I havent gone for any xray before its my 1st and 2nd time but only 1 day apart,is it safe or harmful for me?if so what is the best thing to do to keep my cells healthy in order for them to heal soon.I need your help.thanks!

By the the way the 1st xray is the latest tech was used.2nd is the film xray.
what do you think of the 2nd? Is it still ok?

You are fine. The amount of radiation in x-rays today is very minimal - you get as much just being outside or flying in an airplane. However, I do think that the previous days images would have been sufficient instead of doing them again, but I'm not a doctor. But you consented. Remember, you always have the right to refuse.
