What Is The Remedy For Dizziness When I Tilt My Head With Cervical Spinal Stenosis?

HI, I HAVE CERVICAL SPINAL STENOSIS AND IN OCT. OF 2010 I HAD THE FUSION SURGERY. SURGERY WENT WELL, MIGRAINES AND PAIN STOPPED AND THEN IN MARCH OF 2012 I REINJURED OR THE PROBLEM DEGENERATED FURTHER AND MY MIGRAINES RETURNED, ALTHOUGH NOT AS SEVERE, BUT THE WEAKNESS AS WELL AS MY HEAD FEELING AS THOUGH IT WEIGHS 100LB S HAVE ALSO RETURNED, AND I HAVE TROUBLE SITTING OR STANDING WITHOUT MY HEAD AND NECK AND UPPER BACK BECOMING SO TIRED AND PAINFUL I HAVE TO LAY DOWN AND REST MY NECK. MY NEWEST AND SCARIEST PROBLEM NOW IS THAT WHEN I LEAN BACKWARD , LIKE TILTING MY HEAD BACK TO LOOK AT THE CEILING, I GET VERY DIZZY AND ALMOST PASS OUT. IT IS AS IF SOMETING IS CUT OFF LIKE BLOOD OR MAYBE A PINCHED NERVE. COULD THIS BE LIFE THREATENING I AM TERRYFIED OF ER S AND DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO GO UNLESS EMERGENCY. I AM GOING TO CALL MY PAIN MANAGEMENT DOC TOMORROW BUT WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YOU THINK. TRACY BAKER

With history iit is evident that you have cervical stenosis for wich surgery have been done. Recurrence of symptom is common. you have to use aneck color sleep without pillow and with neck support is essential. Now you can take hifenac tab 50 mg two times daily for one week. Give hot phomantetion with atowel over neck. Consult orthopaedic surgeon for futher investigaton.
