Caution: With undue trauma (such as a whiplash injury), you could cause damage to your cervical spine. I cannot say what precautions you should follow because the differences in the degree if stenosis points in the direction of treatment like pt verse surgery and everything in between. Avoid any physician who wanted to do high velocity manipulation at this time. Consider seeing a neurosurgeon to clarify.

Possibly: They are of two types.
The leiomyoma occurs in the skin or gut but the common form is the uterine fibroid.
Rhabdomyomas are rare tumors of muscles, they occur in childhood and often become malignant
assuming this is a uterine fibroid, if it were in the proper anatomic location it could cause vascular compromise, nerve compression, pelvic cramping or even a referred pain pattern.

MANY: There are many things that may cause neck & lower back pain. The 2 most common is sprain/strains, and arthritis. Others are disc herniations, infections, tumors, fractures, and congenital deformities. If you are experiencing pain and it does not respond to heat, rest, and stretching exercises, i would suggest that you see your pcp for an evaluation.

May be normal but: You need to get checked by your doctor. There are lots of possible causes for galactorrhea (leaving milky fluid) and most are easy to deal with.
Bottom line - go get a checkup!
good luck.

Maybe...: We suggest rest, ice, elevation, compression and NSAID of choice. You don't necessarily have to stop, but you may need to back off some. If it worsens, you may have to stop and get it checked out.
