? klippel feil syndrome

I have a severe congenital scolisis, a double c curve in my cervical and thorasic regions of my spine.  I have fused vertebrae in both regions as well as missing a rib and a fused ribs.  My rib cage is extremely small.  I am experiencing "nerve pain" and loss of function to my lower extremeties due to a work accident to my neck.  No doctor that I have previously seen could connect my  right foot drop that occured right after my neck injury to that injury. Could  this  be a case of klippel feil syndrome where a relatively "minor" injury could cause all my sysptoms?

I have klippeil feil, congenital scoilosis, a missing kidney, a half a urteris. My main concern right now is pain in the left side of my neck, headache in the left side of my head and an ear ache with the headache.  Two years ago I had radio frequency liesioning and the pain was gone until recently.
