Could be...: Yes, this could be associated with significant injuries although the most common reason is overuse and trauma induced over the years.If you had a significant fall this could've been the cause but it is difficult to tell without more information and evidence. If you are having significant symptoms you should see an Orthopedist specialized in the spine or a Neurosurgeon.

Possibly: An injury can potentially cause post-traumatic arthritis and it can also aggravate a condition that was previously asymptomatic.
