Of course, there could be some hidden damage the MRI didn't pick up (did they use contrast?).

Thanks en bloc.
Yes, It seems that this trauma and/or Alcohol withdrawals at same time might have triggered some existing health issues, which may be related to cervical spondylosis and/or B12 and D deficiency. So now it will be interesting to see what nerve conduction test says. And yes MRI is not that trustworthy.. as X-rays had shown Spina bifida at C7-T1 but MRI didn't showed it. LOL !!!
