MRI and X-Ray don't always show the problem, they can often show things that cause us a great deal of worry because we now know they are there but in reality it's often normal deterioration that are causing you no discomfort at all. I'm not sure why you saw a neurologist, but it may be a typo or your GP felt it was necessary.
Maybe see a physio who has a working relationship with a good neurosurgeon for a 2nd opinion. I'm not overly find of chiropractitioners but that's because of a personal bad experience years ago who I initially thought had helped me, only to later learn he caused significant further damage.
It may be that your fall triggered something else. Go back to your GP and ask them for a referral to a sleep specialist, a neurosurgeon and physiotherapist. You may have a developed a compression fracture and they can cause all sorts of discomfort including sleep difficulty. I hope you can get some answers and relief soon.

I've been experiencing muscle pain throughout my whole body. I can't stay asleep (constantly waking up and I don't sleep long anymore) and i always wake up tired. I went to see a Chiropractor (before then, I saw a neurologist that detected no problems on my mri & x-ray). The chiropractor said I had a bit of a bulging disc and degeneration on my lower spine and a bit of arthritis on my neck. My x-ray showed that I had thoracic scoliosis. The chiropractor straightened my spine a good bit and helped relieve a lot of my muscle pain but I still have muscle pain, diminished sensation all over, numbness & tingling, and sleep problems.
Anyone have a clue what's wrong with me? It's been like 7 months. Since I've been like this.
