neck injury re mva

Since my auto accident in 2006, I still have neck pain with any movement. I also have this crazy itch just on my face and neck area. There are no visable sores, dryness, etc. I have had no previous problems with my neck. Here are the results of my MRI. No evidence of disc herniation or cervical stenosis. Mild disc bulging and osteophyte complex at the C4-5, the C5-6 and the C6-7 levels.No evidence of interspinal mass or abnormal signal within the cervical cord. I was also told that I had degenerate disc disease that was fairly significant. What is causing me all these problems?

crazy itch syndrome in the face and neck due to this area blood circulation is not normal, neural regulatory function be affected ,because soft tissue damaged, so skin problem area could match the  soft tissue damage area.

As for the bulging disc and osteophyte complex occur with the same discs, which is very common in clinical case , as the disc bulging, the ligament (disc surrounding  )increase traction cervical vertebra in upper and lower margin, if long-term traction, osteophyte complex will occur .

Have you heard of the crazy itch syndrome that I have reported on my earlier question? How is that related to my neck injuries?

Neck soft tissue injury,then, the aseptic inflammation in the neck, caused  these symptoms. As soft tissue injury in the attachment point which is muscles and ligaments connect area, poor blood circulation, therefore, it is easy to become chronic pain, if not promptly treated, may produce more symptoms which is common characteristics of a lot of chronic patients.
