Hi Annie ~ It's very possible that the accident did cause the problem at C5-6. Like Gatorhead said, they're going to argue that point tho, and say that it is age related and/or you probably had it before.

So it would behoove you to get a GOOD Worker's Comp attorney to work with you on this and I'm absolutely sure you're going to need one.
It's disgusting what they put you thru on these cases. They make people miserable, and some have even lost their homes waiting for payment from Workers' Comp! It's just ridiculous.
I wish you the very best Annie. You do have a POTENTIAL surgical issue there, although I hope and pray that you can avoid that at all costs!

I hope therapy can take care of that. Please keep us posted as to what happens, ok? God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
