Oh yes, I sure do! The worse the pain is, the worse the dizziness is, for me anyway...

I get dizzy but I can't say for sure what is causing it since I'm dealing with several conditions so I feel any reply by me wouldn't be beneficial or helpful. ellena

I used to have dizziness all the time...prior to any fusions.
The PM I had then explained that the cervical spine is so tightly congested with nerves (every nerve in your body passes through the neck), that they "crosstalk" to the auditory nerves. The auditory nerves in turn control your sense of balance, dizziness, etc. I can still get a little dizzy if the C2/C3 acts up but back then it was the C3/C4 causing most of it. Once I had that fused the dizziness stopped. It is just every now and then if I extend my neck that the C2/C3 will give me fits and dizziness. The lesser and greater occipital nerves arise out of the spinal cord and wrap in and out of the muscles in the scalp. So, yep, the dizziness is common. And taking the meds to combat the pain, etc., didn't help matters. They always made my dizziness much worse even when taking Meclizine to combat the dizziness. |

I am so glad i found this post. I have ON as well as the tighter my neck is the more dizzy I am. I had every kind of test done which comes up normal. So in order to stop the dizziness you had to get a fusion?>

bevfoley, no in order to stabilize my spine I had to have a fusion. The added benefit is that the headaches stopped in addition to the dizziness. Or I should say are few and far between now; still have facet issues at other levels.

I have chronic vertigo, loss of balance, dizzy
I'm not sure if it's related to the O/N as I also have PCS and Ataxia
