Did either of you ever receive a definitive diagnosis? I have similar symptoms. I was holding up my neck doing sit-ups for an extended period of time, and my life hasn't been the same since.

The room feels like it's bobbing on the ocean, I have pain in the occipital nerve area, stabbing ear pain, tinnitus and a full sensation in my ear.

My upper cervical MRI is essentially clear. I responded really well to a c2 cervical facet and occipital nerve block, but the occipital pain and dizziness came back 5 times as bad three months later. Not sure what my options are for a long-term fix...
