Whiplash injury

2022-08-06 14:07:24
I had a car accident 1 week ago..nothing major in term of physical wound. I am having bad neck pain and lower back pain and I injured my tailbone. After taking pain medication for 1 week with no result I got an xray done and mri . No fracture in xray but MRI cervical and lumbar show straightening of spine rest it doesn't show any nerve pinch...but I have having shooting pain in by cervical area that is radiating to arms and making them numb sometime. Also when I am.sitting for even small time the right foot base is getting numb. I don't understand where the issue is. Is this due to straightening of spine at cervical and lumbar region?
