Cervical stenosis: No one is exactly sure what caused cervical hernations/stenosis unless you had a before and after MRI but predisposing factors can be MVA even fender benders, repetitive stress like working overhead, head up to look at a computer monitor all day/sports .it is unclear what the thoracic injury was so it is hard to associate,but the same injury may have had cervical effects.. f/u with doc
