Hi,
When will things get resolved. The neck issues & the dizziness starting to think they are connected. Seen by a Neurologist & she went over all my tests very carefully & also tested my walking & other things. She said I did fine but I will never be a Wallenda (a tightrope walking family).
She told me to take one Flexeril for 3 nites & 3 nites off. Took one last night & after breakfast got so dizzy that all I could do all day was lay around. She said if I could tolerate the drug I could start an anti-depressant. Not starting anything. I am at my wits end. Not taking anything tonight. Pharmacy said I should try cutting pill in half. Couldn't get hold of the doctor "on call". He never called!
Lady doctor said don't just sit around well if your too dizzy what can you do?? Is this coming from neck she said it is from tight muscles!!
Feel bad for everyone in chronic pain.

I am using a wheeled walker but I am 70 and can get away with it. If you are a young person you would be reluctant to use an aid to help you.
how long have you had this? Where are you and how old are you?

I am also in your age group & I still don't want anything on wheels LOL --I am in Penna. My friends are fairly healthy & I am so envious of their running around & here I sit!! Darn. The minute I feel decent I am out the door.

Most people refer to dizzy as a feeling of imbalance and light headedness. Spinning is vertigo.

If you are in Pennsylvania there appear to be several Otologist in your state. The University of Pennsylvania has one of the top rated facilities in the US.

As for the effect of drugs, I have studied the contra indications contained with each drug and they all say it causes what you've got! I spoke with the Dr and he told me to ignore it, as the drug companies put them there to limit their liability. Basically it's RUBBISH. That DR has unfortunately retired and a voice of reason lost to the medical profession and of course US.
Best wishes to all and hope you get some help soon

At least that dx would be easier to fix.
