Answer: Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think you may have disc problem so meet a spine surgeon get examination done followed by x-ray and if nothing found get fresh MRI now as it will give present day status of spinal cord and its compression status which helps to come to a conclusion there might be an unstable spine after trauma and needs MRI for confirming
