I need some advice on what I need to tell my doctor tomorrow. I have had a ACDF in 2001 (failed) and a posterior fusion in 2005, I have a plate in front and 2 rods in the back. Levels 3-6. Saturday morning I got ambitious and cleaned 3 lower cupboards in my kitchen. This was not too hard but it was a lot of bending. Sunday when I got up I had the spins. More than just dizzy, I could not walk without holding on to something. This wore off after a few hours but I felt dizzy all day if I moved fast. Monday morning was a repeat. Monday afternoon I went to my Pilates class and about 1/2 way through I got the spins really bad. (I felt like I was back in collage and drunk!) I could not even sit up for a few minutes and I had to gradually work my way up to sitting and standing. Tuesday morning was actually better but this morning was really bad again. It takes about 3 hours after getting up to be able to walk without holding onto a wall or something. Is this my neck? I have normal pain but I do feel pressure in the back of my neck. My ears feel fine and I have not had a cold.

Sometimes I feel like I need to push my doc in the direction I want to go. Do I need to ask for an MRI? I have not had anything like this or heard of it with people with bad necks. I cannot continue to work like this and I work from home. There is no way I could drive. This is just too weird!
