I'd bet money you have a slightly misaligned spine as a result of the torsion in the accident. I have the same problem. Nothing to be done about it except using highbacked chairs that I lean way back in to take pressure off the muscles, which get sore from constantly trying to realign the spine to where it should be.
And that's a lesson to dksuddeth too - you're exactly right, he's probably got soft tissue or other injuries that won't fully manifest for awhile. Get a personal injury lawyer. They work on commission, not retainer, so you won't be out any money. They'll also bully the other guy's insurance company for you - you can generally add several grand to the payout the minute the ins. co finds out a lawyer's involved.
