Unlikely: I think that it's very unlikely that an injury/incident from 10yrs ago would lay dormant then come back to haunt you now but stranger things have been known to happen. With that said, your description of your complaints is too vague for a definitive answer, which is best addressed by your family doc who can examine & order appropriate tests to arrive at diagnosis and offer you correct treatment.

Old injury: Without knowing the actual extent of the injuries related to the dirt bike event in the past, and without knowing your history after it; can't speculate with any high likelihood of being accurate.

More evaluation: If the only injuries 10 yrs ago were burns & sprain, then highly unlikely that injury is the cause. Would recommend that you get more evaluation to determine cause of your symptoms
