I agree with Ric...


likely the soreness is related to the crash... deep musculoskeletal pain, 
soreness, bruising...secondary to the incident, related to whiplash and 
associated deep trauma....

I'd get checked out by a competent MD, do have the complaints and findings 
well documented in the medical record for your insurance company...

not surprising, your complaints sound bothersome and collectible,  often 
evolving with time, initially occult, and somewhat masked by the adrenaline 
surge, and other things.
