Hi Mr Troy,

I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern.

Yes,there could be a link between the two.
You may be suffering from a lumbar disc prolapse causing nerve root compression.
The trigger may have been the 7 years old trauma.

I would suggest you to get a MRI of the lumbar spine done to rule out a disc prolapse and consult a orthopedist / neurosurgeon.

I hope the answer was useful to you.

Get back to me for any doubts that you may have.

Best wishes.
