Could Back Pain,neck Pain And Numbness In Back Be Due To Strains Or Something Else?
I was in a car accident 6 months ago, the day of the accident I went to the ER and was given a CT scan. The doctor asked me if I had ever been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease? I said no, and she said nothing more about it. I was told I had Strain of the C- Spine and T- Spine. I followed up with a doctor who sent me to 8 sessions physical therapy. I felt a bit better but as soon as I returned to my regular life and activities, I was back in sever pain again. I have back pain and occasional neck pain. I have spasms and numbness in my back and sometimes my leg. Are these Strains??? It seems that there is something more going on...Please Help!

symptoms ur experiencing are due to muskuloskeletal injury....these will subside with time....continue physiotherapy and u can take analgesics SOS
If pain is severe and there is paresthesia over limbs or weakness...then u need MRI spine to rule out spinal injury.....
