HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms may not be directly related with the spine, but clear the doubt you need to get done the MRI test else this is nothing to worry, as you have stated about your job so this could be due to continues or monotones posture it may needs some changes, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
