Man, pick an injury and go with it rather than the smorgasbord of injuries. If you have cervical HNPs that may be causing your symptoms although what you complain of would be more thoracic and those T cases are even rarer. C6-7 is a frequent injury and everything else is along for the ride and to be de-emphasized should your medical record permit.

Get a C&R and move on.

Good Luck :)
