Pain caused by car accidents can last longer than a year for some

A recent study published in the Archives of Surgery found that pain experienced by those involved in a personal injury accident, such as a car accident, lasts more than a year for roughly 60 percent of those injured, according to Reuters.

Of those suffering personal injury from a car accident or other type of traumatic experience, majority of the pain lasting over a year was found in the joints and limbs. Other spots of pain included the back, head and neck.
