Hi, The injury you had sustained during the accident might have precipitated the event. Initially when there is little pain, out body itself tries to rectify it but once it gets out of hand the pain recurs and increases in severity. That is when generally scans will show a bulging disc or a herniated disc impinging upon the nerve. So I would advise you to fix up an appointment with your spine surgeon or physician and get an MRI done to evaluate the spine. Once the report is out you can decide on how to go about it. Initially pain medication along with physical therapy will do the trick. But for some surgery is an option for relentless pain.
