Can I Do Heavy Lifting While Suffering From Cervical Degenerative Spondylosis?

I was in a car accident. I was a complete stop and rearended at about 40 mph. I have been in PT and regained range of motion. However I have developed more along the way. I had an MRI and I have been told that I was cervial degenerative spondylosis, and Cervial stenosis. I also have a mild disc bulge. I have radiating burning pain in both arms. My muscles have been twitching in my legs, arms, hands, face, and neck. My overall question is, as a CNA, can I return to my job at the hospital with my condition safely? I lift and care for 200 to 300 lbs people.
