hello
If the symptoms are of short period, then tylenol or advil once or twice a day are recommended by doctors for 3-5 days after meals, if of longer duration, then an orthopedic checkup for back ,knee and hip should be done , if needed backed by x rays. For vertigo, cause will be looked for like cervical spondylitis, again x ray nek would be needed.A careful history of any sinusitis, congestive nose and eyesight should be evaluated.A thorough checkup by an eye and ENT doctor would be preliminary. Lastly, if very long duration pain, neurologist will be a preferred doctor.Tests and examination depend after a general checkup of pulse, BP also besides above
Ideally, go to a General doctor first and systematically get examined, he will refer to above doctors if necessary depending on findings
best wishes
