I'm doing pt now and next week l am going to try the dry needling. I talk to a patient at pt that is getting it done and she said it had helped. I've read alot about it and it seems it does the most help for people with neck and back pain.
I had VNg tests, hearing test from ENT.
Can l ask what your issue is? Is it just vertigo or do your DDD too

My main issue is neck pain on my left side. I had it 2 years ago on my right and it went away after a year of me doing PT. I continued to do the PT exercises but about 6 months ago it started to hurt on the left side.

In August I started having sinus pressure and frontal headaches that lasted for about 2 months. I have Sjogren’s, so we have very dry mucosa including sinuses. Then those sinus type headaches stopped and I began to have pain radiating up from my neck to the back of my head. I also have what I call skull/top of head pain and headaches which my PCP thinks may be originating in the cervical spine DDD.

These headaches started in Oct. the day after I quit taking gabapentin (weaned from 900 mg day to 300 to 100 to 0 over a 3 weeks period), so it’s only been about 6 weeks of weird headaches that seem aggravated when I bend forward or move my head. Strange… any ideas anyone?
