@ggr
I’m sorry to hear of your accident. I had a whiplash injury over 13 years ago after a rear ended car accident on the highway (around construction area). How long ago did you have your accident and MRI of your cervical spine? Does it show disc bulges/herniations or bone spurs/osteophytes that are pressing on nerve roots and/or spinal cord? Is there any issue with the alignment of your vertebrae? This can cause pain/weakness/numbness symptoms and distorted communications between brain/body. You may want to follow up with an orthopedic spine specialist.

My accident was two and a half years ago. My injury was 7 rib fractures. I was hit in the side motor. If it had hit the door I don't know if I would have survived. The cervical spine issue was long in the making. Many years of book work and sewing and bad posture. I am going to contact a spine specialist to see if they will treat it. My understanding is that it is wearing a collar for some time daily over a period of weeks. I think it's a matter of realigning the way I hold my head. It's worth s try.
