@stevetaylor721 For me, vertigo had a component of movement, like the world was starting to spin around me. It is the way things look and feel if you had spun yourself around like a kid who was playing a game. The reason it was happening is because having a twisted or tilted vertebrae will stretch the vertebral artery that runs through the sides of the vertebrae. That affects blood flow to the brain. When you have a neck spasm or a spasm in the shoulder blade area, all that pulls on the spinous process of the cervical vertebrae and can move them. I would have to walk with my hand against the wall when this was happening, and other times, I just had to lie down with a heated wrap around my neck to help the muscles relax. Does this seem like the symptoms you are having?

Hi Jennifer. My balance issues are much more minor than that. I’ve had them for a very long time and it is part of the reason I am so sensitive to medications (they mess up my vestibular system). But I am not having vertigo that bad. I’ve had a few vertigo attacks in my life that have been that bad, but it has been quite a few years since I’ve had a bad one. The dizziness I’ve had since surgery is lesser than that, and more of a head pressure type sensation.
