hello, my name is steve. 15 years ago I had a fusion in c5/c6 due to a prolapsed disc. 3 years ago an MRI showed nerves being compressed, on both sides, in c6/c7 area. giving pain, numbness, pins and needles (parathesia) in both arms, shoulders and hands. on march 26th this year, I was the driver in the car, at a roundabout stationary, when I was hit from behind. my symptoms are now worse I am experiencing spasms, like electric shocks throughout the spine, my buttock area, legs and feet. apparently, I also have problems in the thoracic area too. I am not able to see specialists until 30th of September. I am now confined to living in bed worrying about paralysis and I was I very active person till this incident. don't know what to do and now my sertraline has been increased due to the rise in my anxiety/depression. can someone advise me on what I may have or what I need to do? as I am so depressed in bed :(
