What Does Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?
Hi I got rear ended in October 2016 It was minor but nevertheless the left side of my neck and lower spine got hurt, I went through physical therapy which helped a lot, The MRI showed normal results. Over the months I still had off and on pain on my lower back, last month I was on my 30 minutes walk when I felt tingling sensation on my left foot and been having them off and on since. Could this be due to the accident or could it be something else?

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
If you did not had these complains before but after the accident , somehow it is related to the accident indirectly, as it may have triggered muscular pain . Even though MRI is normal still you have have nouromuscular pain that takes time to go with physical therapy.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
Really the old trauma may be a cause and If I was treating such case in my clinic I prefer repetition of MRI of lower spine as neuropathic pain caused mostly by nerve root compression due to back problem ,Also I will prescribe neurotonics as vitamin B complex and pregabalin for neuropathic pain .
