Can Cervical And Spinal Stenosis Cause Sudden Pain In Neck And Back?

I have been recently diagnosed with Cervical and spinal stenosis. I did not have pain until I was injured at work but workers comp says that since it was a disease that I could not have been injured at work. Can an injury cause this sudden pain in neck and back be related to this disease and do I have a workers comp case?

Hello,

It may be due to stenosis. Still for further assessment you may require MRI neck and back, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation. For that you may require tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation. Continue physical therapy. Avoid long sitting job.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
