Your cervical spine is the neck region and I think the word should be reticulitis or inflammation of the retuculum.or radial nerves
You have recently has some type of whiplash? or car accident
The two injuries are unrelated as in spine or carpal tunnel causing one or the other. Except in a fall of some type of accident involving your neck and a hand.
The carpal tunnel syndrome is related to the band of cartilage at the wrist where the nerves and blood vessels of the fingers pass through..
An exacerbation of the underlying injury means that you had this injury before but whatver happened to you has made this worse. The carpal tunnel injury needs to be fixed. This is done by cutting the band of cartalage in the wrist to releive the pressure and reduce the pins and needles in the hand.
How close was I on the whiplash injury?

They are saying, basically, that the cervical spine injury may have made the symptoms from carpal tunnel syndrome worse.
Exacerbation means "made worse" or "aggravated"
Symptomatology -- if that's actually the word they used -- is a bad choice of words, but just means "symptoms" in this usage.

means they are blaming the injury for the onset of carpal tunnel...a secondary ailment brought on by over compensating for the original injury..
