Spine question?inflammation?or spine injury?

ok what is the difference between----
a spine injury and inflammation of the spine?
i am wondering because i was injured in a car accident and the docs are telling me that it is just by coincidence the inflammation came on my spine by a autoimmune disorder and not a injury so he diganosed me with transverse myelitis just dont make sence my spine is swollen but i was hurt.... whiplash i am just so confused anyone with any ideas?
ohh btw transverse myelitis is caused by like diseases like chicken pox-some times baterial-a viral infection-sjogren's syndrome-multiple sclerosis things like that i have none of those i cant even remember the last time i was sick even with a cold......

P.S.
i have had 3-4 family doctors look at me
4 neuro's doctors
1 bone doctor
1 bladder doctor
1 oncology doctor
and 1 rhuma doctor
so i have had many second oppinions and some say it was trauma and some say it is a immune disorder which all my blood work came back great and i was tested for every thing!! from b-12/to hiv !!

Not so unusual. Unless you were having back problems prior to the injury I doubt you would have had such an extensive diagnostic workup.

For example, a bruise sometimes triggers a staph infection. The bacteria was in the person's body, but the new bruise gave it a place to start damaging tissue.

get a second opinion, I have had a fusion from a injury..but also have had inflamation from my lupus...so it could happen

Wow! I just wanted to tell you that I feel for all your going through. I hope you find the answer soon.
