Brief Answer:
Inflammation causes warmth and pain-straightening

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Vardsana.
Thanks for your query,

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar,

After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your neck,shoulder and lower back due to rear ended hit at red light. You are also having sore biceps and there is tingling in right arm down to your hands. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C help in healing.For tingling Mecobalamin is helpful. You can discuss with your Doctor about it.

You want to know why you are feeling warm sensation on your spine.It is because due to injury there's inflammation in injured area which causes feeling of warmth as redness and warmth are signs of it.

Your Doctor mentioned that x ray revealed that your spine is straight (normally spine is curved) . Due to pain your muscles go into spasm.These muscles make the spine straight by tightening it by muscle pull. It's related to pain as pain causes spasms and spasm causes straightening.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health. Take care.
