Lumbar spine problem cannot resolve

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.
