I was in a bad car wreck in 2000. I have several trauma-related surgical implants. Also, I do not have a spleen. I have never heard of anyone else having the kind of injuries I sustained. I would just like to know what is happening to my body, and what I can do to prevent further suffering.

The body can take a lot...just look at motorbike racers or jockeys, they often have severe injuries over the years of competitive riding.
Its difficult to comment not knowing what injuries you had. Generally its good to take supplements which help the bones and joints. Condroitin, MSM and glucosamine are all very helpful. Any fish oil or flower oil will also help. People can live without their spleen with no problems. The other areas which manufacture the red blood cells just increase production to cover the loss of the spleen.
If you are having specific problems it would be wise to discuss them with a doctor as the advice I can give is only very general.
