Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Spinal stenosis can be congenital or due to some disease, of course it could be due to herniation of the disc due to jerk during accident. anyhow it is excluded by C.T.scan so you don't worry about it. Besides the pain in the spine and dizziness there will be so many symptoms like numbness etc., so the possibility is wholly excluded.  The possibility could be due to concussion type of head injury, and jury sprain of the back muscles. It may be cleared by muscle relaxants, and anxiolytic.  I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment, don't think of the stenosis, and use the medicines prescribed. Try to be engaged in Extracurriculars like reading, hearing music etc. to avoid tension of anxiety.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery, and thanks for calling.
