Lumbar spine problem cannot resolve

@dlydailyhope hello! Thanks! For some info, as an answer to your question, no I've never seen a neurologist, do you think they can help me in my case? Or should I go to a spine orthopedic? And no I haven't had any accidents before, I'm only thinking that maybe it was because of my present work which is housekeeping in a hotel, we do too much lifting heavy things like beds, our trolley that we are using at work, too much bending, but I'm not really sure if it's all because of that, how about you?? Have you been in an accident before? Causing you of that spine and lumbar problems? Thank you so much!

I haven’t really had an accident but was rear ended in a car which caused whiplash. I was born with a congenitally narrow spinal canal. I did not have all doctors point this out to me (only the surgeons did) and it was not mentioned in any of my many MRIs since 2017. I have worked at a desk job and sitting/working on a computer for 10-12 hours a day for over 30 years has put a lot of pressure on my cervical and lumbar spine.
A neurologist can test your central/peripheral nervous system signals and strength which can help identify radiculopathy and pinched nerves that can cause symptoms. It is good to get a baseline for upper/lower limbs. Mine showed cervical and lumbar radiculopathy which tied to my C5C6 and L4-S1 disc/spinal cord/nerve root issues.
