Do you mind sharing your age and what were you told after your accident? Were you hit from behind or did you hit with front impact to cause your whiplash?

From what you have shared, it sounds like you need to see a neurosurgeon and/or orthopedic spine specialist based on your MRI results. Have you already met with them and shared your MRIs?

I have a typo, I do not have canal stenosis and foraminal narrowing. I do have the minimal annular bulging from C3-4 to C6-7, and minimal hydromyelia of the cord at the C7 level. Do you still think I should be seeing a neurosurgeon still?

I was previously referred to a neurosurgeon for the hydromyelia, but I never got to go to the referral as it was right as I was moving. So I am currently waiting on a new pain management orthopedist referral, neurologist referral, and my new PCP didn't refer me to a neurosurgeon for my neck MRI, which I'm not sure if I should ask them for.

I am 21. I assumed I will be fine and the semi truck driver didn't want me to call anyone and report him to insurance, so I didn't get medical care after the accident.
