[|Human|] Hello. I was the driver in a car accident. The other car hit the front left of my car. I was driving a small jaguar and hit the side of my head on the drivers window. My car was totaled. I went to the hospital and they did a ct scan w/o contrast on my head and spine. The findings were.... There is mild reversal or normal cervical lordosis. Strain-cervical. Closed head injury. The therapist I ve been seeing said my range of motion has been affected. Extension 31%,Lexion 42%,left rotation 64% and right 48%. my neck hurts all the time and makes noises when I turn my head either direction. The wreck was 3 months ago and I have had a head ache almost every day, confusion and back pain. My question is....is the cervical lordosis the cause of my problems and could it have been caused by the wreck. I don t seem to be getting any better and I m worried if I settle what are the long term effects this can cause me? My dr hasn t even mentioned this to me I saw it on the hospital report. Any info u can give me I would greatly appreciate.
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that cervical spine trauma can lead to chronic headache, especially in the back of your head. This is caused by the muscle spasms in the neck, which extend to the back of the head. It can also lead to irritation of the occipital nerve, which lies in this region, causing this type of headache. But, a long time has passed from the accident, and you should feel better now. As your troubles persist, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and a cervical spine CT scan or MRI. You may need to hold a cervical collar if evidence of cervical disk protrusion are revealed in these tests. If this test result normal, you should consider post-concussion headache as a possible cause underlying your troubles. In such case, an antidepressant would help relieve your symptoms. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
