Hello ,
Thanks for posting your query
You had injury over your back in car accident 3 months ago and now at present you have difficulty in sitting standing and walking.
So there might be a fracture of vertebra ( back bone).
You should go to an orthopaedic for clinical exam of spine and xray & treatment plan according to that.
Regards.
