  I was in a bit of car accident last week.

  Couple minor scratches and my back is kind of tight right now.
  
  So 1) are there any work outs that i can do to help ease the pain?
  2) when could i start working out again?

  Holy shit. Glad you came out with only minor injuries. Could have been a lot worse. Anyways, talk to a doctor first. Might be better to do some physical therapy before you actually go back to hitting the weights.

  Glad you were able to away with only minor cuts.
  
  I would say wait a week and in between that time you should probably go see a doctor just to make sure.

  What??? ... ... you dont go on line to a forum to get your medical advice after a car accident? .... I am so surprised. .... It's the first place I would go. .... I mean, really, if a bunch of strangers on the internet can't diagnose your problem, what hope is there for this world. ...

  Strongly agreed. This is a question for a medical professional who has evaluated you in person. NO ONE online can make such an assessment.

  PLEASE see a doctor and ask THEM this question, not random guys on an internet forum!
