I have been experiencing quite severe muscular problems since a car accident 18 months ago. I was hit side on by a motorcyclist at 60 mph and now suffer with a lot of pain down my right hand side.

I've been seeing a physio & osteopath regularly but this has made only minor temporary differences. Recently I've started doing pilates and working with a trainer at the gym to focus on building strength and flexibility with the muscle groups that are a problem.

This has made a really positive difference but I still find that when I drink alcohol, I'm in agony the next day. I now only drink one glass as it's simply not worth the resulting problems. But even then, I find i'm in so much pain in my shoulder, neck, back and arm. I also have a bad headache and severe eye ache - basically everything on my my right hand side really hurts! I drink lots of water to prevent dehydration but it doesn't help!

Can you please help me understand why this is?
