What Causes Neck Pain, Continuous Shaking Of Neck And Vertigo?

I have been experiencing vertigo for the past 2 weeks. I was given antivert and took it for nine days. My primary physician suggested not to take the meds when I returned to work to see what would happened. After 4 days, the vertigo returned. I had a cervical fusion in 05, including a plate and several screws. I believe there is a relationship between my neck pain I'm experiencing (due to the surgery) and vertigo. Please help me. I'm a 53 year-old teacher. My neck is constantly moving from left to right, up and down. Should I seek a neurologist? Thanks,

Cheryl from Euclid, Ohio.

Your symptoms are likely to that of BPPV. You should consult a physiotherapist and learn some exercises to prevent BPPV. An MRI gives a detailed view of it.
